Enoch -- Enoch's faith in God & message to the world
Today's Readings:
Reading 1: Genesis 5:18-24
Reading 2: Hebrews 11:5-6
Reading 3: Jude 14-19
Today's readings are shorter and focus on Enoch. In contrast, Enoch's life was much longer than lives today, yet he is listed as having great faith.
He is known for being taken from the earth by God but less well known for his prophecy recorded in Jude.
Enoch said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
So today, with Enoch as our example, let's examine our words and deeds, ensuring they are rooted in God's love and His Word.
Can you recall a time when words and deeds showed God's love? Either to you or through you?
Have a great day!
Mark.
