Enoch lived for 365 YEARS on earth! That’s a super long time! What’s even more impressive is this—Enoch was faithful to God for his entire life. What’s even, even more amazing is that he was faithful during a time when almost no one else was following God. So how did he do it? What was his secret? The Bible gives us two important clues!

First, Hebrews 11:5 tells us Enoch was a man of FAITH. That means he believed in God even though he couldn’t see Him. He trusted that God was real and that God cared about him.

Second, in the book of Jude, we learn that Enoch had spiritual INSIGHT. That’s like having special wisdom or understanding about God and what’s right and wrong. Enoch could see things from God’s point of view. He understood that God was going to judge people who did bad things, and he wasn’t afraid to tell others about it.

So Enoch’s secret was: strong faith in God + understanding from God = walking close with God every day!

You might be thinking, But I’m just a kid! How can I be like Enoch? Here’s the cool part: You can start right now! Every time you believe what the Bible says your faith grows. Every time you read God’s Word and learn more about Him you gain wisdom. You’re building the same qualities Enoch had!

Action Paso: Pick one Bible verse to learn this week. Here are some ideas: Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 27:1; Joshua 1:9’ Zephaniah 3:17; Philippians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:8. Or ask a parent to help you find another good one. Write the verse on a card and put it somewhere you’ll see it every day. As you memorize it, you’re building your faith and wisdom just like Enoch did!
