Pedro became a follower of Jesus at fifty. He’d been an angry, vindictive man who hurt those around him. As he received counseling from his church, he felt remorse over his past. “I now have less years ahead of me than behind me,” he said. “I want to live them well. But how?”
Pedro found his answer in an unlikely source—a genealogy. As he read Moses’ account of Adam’s family line, he noted that one sentence was repeated to describe Adam’s descendants: “Altogether, [name] lived a total of [number] years, and then he died” (see Genesis 5:8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 27, 31). But one man was described differently.
Enoch was described as one who “walked faithfully with God” (vv. 22, 24). He drew near to God, and that’s how he spent his earthly life. Because of his faith, “he was commended as one who pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). Enoch had a steadfast, abiding trust in who God was and what He’d do for those who sought Him (v. 6). He expressed his trust in the Almighty by acting on it and obeying Him, and his faith was such that God spared him from physical death (v. 5).
“How can I live my years well?” Pedro asked. “By walking faithfully with God.”
Our earthly life doesn’t have to be summed up in just a number. It can be summed up in our faith, which allows God to work in more ways than we can count.

REFLECT & PRAY
In your life, what would “walking faithfully with God” look like? How can you act on your trust in Him?
Dear Father, I’m not meant to walk through life on my own. Please help me walk faithfully with You.
“Walk” or “walking” is a metaphor used in the Bible to depict the life of faith as a journey. To “walk” means taking physical steps toward a desired destination. To walk with God is to have a relationship and fellowship with Him. Enoch is the first person the Bible describes as one who “walked faithfully with God” (Genesis 5:22, 24). Noah too “found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and “walked faithfully with God” (6:8-9).
The metaphor of walking continues in the New Testament. We’re to “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16), to “walk in the way of love” (Ephesians 5:2), to “walk in the light” (1 John 1:7), to “[walk] in the truth” (2 John 1:4), and to “walk in obedience to his commands” (v. 6). To walk faithfully with God, we must “live as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6), or, as the nkjv renders it, “walk just as [Jesus] walked.”
