Read: Genesis 5
Meditation: As you read this chapter try to focus on what it
is saying about death. Also look closely to the verses that talk about
Enoch. Why was he different? Why did God take him without him having to
die? What does it mean to "walk with God"? While the answer to
all these questions may not be real clear to us, one thing is very
clear: God and Enoch walked together. This is the same relationship that
God used to have in the garden with Adam before he fell into sin. It is
the same relationship God wants to have with us.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to have a relationship with You
in which we can walk together. 
Read: 1 Chronicles 1:1-4
Meditation: We do not learn much more about Enoch in this account.
However, here we see the line from Adam forward. This ancestoral line will
be important when looking at the book of Luke tomorrow.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to see that the mention of these
names in the Bible is important, and that God had a plan for them and that
He has a plan for me and my life. 
Read: Luke 3:23-38
Meditation: When we looked at Chronicles we saw a list of names.
Today we also see a list of names. This list now becomes important because
Jesus is in that list of names. In fact that list starts with Jesus and goes
back through time to Enoch, and eventually to Adam and to God. Enoch was a
part of the line that Jesus would come through.
Prayer Starter: Lord, Enoch walked with You, but he was also a
part of the promise that would give us the promise of being able to walk
with You also. Thank You Lord. 
Read: Hebrews 11:5-6
Meditation: At last we learn some more about Enoch. He was a man
of faith, and he was a man that pleased God. Because of that God took him to
live with him and he did not die as all others have to die. He must have
been someone special to God.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to be someone special and to have
the faith I need to please You. 
Read: Jude 1
Meditation: Jude discusses many different things in this book, but
he does mentioned that Enoch had prophesied about those who would not follow
God and that God would send His holy ones to judge everyone and those who
were not followers would be convicted of the ungodly acts and condemned.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to be the one that is a follower of
You so that I will be judged in a way that will bring me
salvation. 
Read: Genesis 4:16-18
Meditation:
There is one other Enoch that is mentioned in the Bible. This
Enoch was the son of Cain, and that line is not continued for long for
after the flood it would not exist anymore. Do not confuse this Enoch
with the one that "Walked with God."
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to be more like Enoch, the one
that walked with You. As I go through this life let me also walk with
You, and let me live my life in faith.
