与神同行
读今天的经文时，你是否想跳过那些奇怪的名字？千万不要！当我们读这些家谱时，我们发现以诺是圣经中最长寿之人的父亲。更重要的是，以诺是这个名单中唯一一个不遵循这个模式的人：“他活了...就死了。”圣经说：以诺与神同行，神将他取去，他就不在世上了。”这怎么可能呢？
圣经给了我们一个明确的暗示。我们两次被告知以诺“与神同行”。这里的“同行”一词表明神和以诺有着特别的关系——结果——以诺没有死。读到以诺，这个人令人敬畏，他与神同行，然后就被神接去了。
或许今天你想知道如何与神同行。在马太福音第1章我们读到，耶稣是所应许的以马内利，意思是“神与我们同在”。耶稣架起了我们与神之间的桥梁，使我们不仅能今天与祂同行，且永远与祂同行，就像以诺一样。所以耶稣说：“复活在我，生命也在我。信我的人，虽然死了，也必复活。”（约11:25）。现在唯一的问题是：“你信吗？”
慈爱的神，感谢你今天呼召我们与你同行，感谢你使我们因信耶稣而有可能永远与你同行。阿们。

Walking With God
"Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." - Genesis 5:24
Were you tempted to skip over the strange names in today’s Bible reading? Please don’t! When we read this genealogy, we learn that Enoch was the father of the oldest man in the Bible. More importantly, Enoch is the only one in this list of names who doesn’t follow this pattern: “he lived . . . and then he died.” Instead, the Bible says, “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” How could this be?
The Bible gives us a clear hint. Twice we are told that Enoch “walked faithfully with God.” The word “walked” here indicates a special relationship between God and Enoch, and—as a result—Enoch did not die. After reading how each generation died, it’s awesome to read of this man, Enoch, who walked with God and then was taken to be with God.
Perhaps today you would like to know how you can walk with God. In Matthew 1 we read that Jesus was the promised Immanuel, which means “God with us.” Jesus bridges the gap between us and God so that we can walk with him not only today but forever, like Enoch. That is why Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die” (John 11:25). There is only one question left to answer: “Do you believe?”
Loving God, thank you for calling us to walk with you today, and thank you for making it possible by faith in Jesus to walk with you forever. Amen.
