Today’s devotion comes from Genesis 5:3-24. Here is a link to the chapter.
We will focus on the following verses 21 to 24.
“Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:3-24.
