Day 3

Genesis 5–6 | Psalm 2 | Philippians 2:12–30

“Enoch walked with God…” (Genesis 5:24)

There’s something about this verse that stirs a quiet longing in me—to live a life defined not by accomplishments, but by communion with God. Not a faith that’s sporadic or compartmentalized, but one marked by daily, constant closeness with the One who sustains all things.

What strikes me about Enoch’s story is its simplicity. The Bible doesn’t list his achievements. There are no dramatic miracles, no recorded sermons, no accounts of battles won. It simply says, he walked with God. And that was enough.

That challenges me. Because if I’m honest, I can so easily slip into measuring my faith by what I do—the prayers I pray, the knowledge I gain, the things I accomplish. But Enoch’s story reminds me that faith isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. It’s about a steady, faithful, step-by-step journey with God, even when no one is watching.

I hope that one day it might be said of me that I “walked with God.” That despite my failures, my faltering steps, and the countless ways I fall short, my life could still point others to Him. That my legacy wouldn’t be about what I built, but about Who I followed.

Philippians 2 echoes this reality. Paul calls us to “work out [our] own salvation with fear and trembling”—not because salvation depends on us, but because “it is God who works in [us], both to will and to work for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12–13). Walking with God isn’t about striving in our own strength. It’s about surrendering, daily, to the One who works in us.

I don’t know what walking with God looks like for you today. Maybe it’s trusting Him in a season of uncertainty. Maybe it’s finding joy in simple obedience. Maybe it’s just getting up and choosing to follow Him, even when you don’t feel like it.

But I do know this—if we walk with Him, He will lead us exactly where we need to go.

Lord, teach me to walk with You. Not just in the big moments, but in the ordinary ones. Shape my heart to desire You more than anything else, and let my life reflect Your glory in every season. Amen.
