By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

 

--Hebrews 11:5

 

Enoch walked with God for the sake of his children. And I believe it is vital for more mothers and fathers to be like him today and follow God wholeheartedly in front of their spouses and children.

 

Enoch walked with the Lord 300 years. That’s hard for me to grasp sometimes! But more importantly, he did it in front of his family and in spite of a sinful generation.

 

We are living in perverted days as well, and things aren’t getting any better. Our children are at risk and our families are threatened on so many sides.

 

So I want to challenge you to make a powerful impact on those around you by demonstrating your faith in God by walking in truth — without compromise — regardless of what your family, friends, co-workers, or neighbors might think.

 

Get alone with God each day, pray that He would fill you with the Holy Spirit, and be strong and steadfast in His Word. If you walk with God by faith, steadfast in your commitment every day, then you’ll experience His great blessings both now and for eternity!

 

YOU CAN MAKE A POWERFUL IMPACT ON THOSE AROUND YOU BY LIVING OUT THE TRUTH EXPRESSED IN GOD’S WORD.
