Wisdom is a tree of life for those who take firm hold of it. Those who cling to it are blessed.

Have you noticed the more time you spend with someone, the more you resemble them?


 

Live it
Little is known about Enoch, except he was father to Methusaleh who lived 782 years. In one paragraph from Genesis chapter 5, we learn Enoch walked with God for 300 years. The account ends abruptly with the statement "God took him away." Since the word "death" was never used concerning his departure, we believe he was translated, or raptured while still alive to God's home. In the New Testament, Paul teaches of rapture where God takes someone near to His heart before they die physically. You might be wondering what "walking with God" means.
Enoch spent so much time with God, one day they were closer to heaven than earth, so they continued walking right into glory. Now, I don't know about you, but after spending time in prayer in a spirit of worship, I can't imagine anything more exciting than opening your eyes after a time of worship and finding you're in heaven, touching a hand and finding it God's, breathing new air and finding it celestial or waking up in glory and finding you're home. (Finally Home, by Don Wyrtzen, publisher Brentwood, Benson Music.)


Pray it
Some try to make it complex and create rules of engagement for prayer, when in fact it can be as simple as being quiet and listening to what You are saying through Your Spirit and Your word. Thank you for the sweet hour of prayer.
