S – So Enoch’s life lasted 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God; then he was not there because God took him
Genesis 5:23–24 CSB
O – Commentary:
In Enoch’s case, the statement was not made—as it was with the other males in this genealogy—that he lived so many years and then died. Instead he walked with God (Gen. 5:22, 24). “Walk” is the biblical expression for fellowship and obedience that results in divine favor. Enoch’s walk lasted 300 years. No doubt his walk would have continued, but God took him away (v. 24)—he did not die
“Genesis,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – When you read that Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, it appears “normal.” Since we do not do that physically, we know it is not. What changed? Sin brings separation. Enoch is the seventh generation from Adam and he is the first son to walk with God. Sin causes us to think, say and do according to our own will and desires. We need to walk with God each day.
R – Heavenly Father, you are the Alpha and the Omega. We desire to know you intimately and walk with you today. Forgive us of our sins that bring distance. Draw us closer to you and give us the strength and courage to defeat sin in our lives.
