A Walk of Faith
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
The very short passages that mention the life of Enoch in the Bible have always stood out to me. A man who walked with God for many, many years (Genesis 5:22-24), and whom God had taken away having been commended as one who pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). And, I can only imagine what...

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psalm 18:2)

I don’t know how much we think about the goodness of God when a difficult day awaits us. I don’t know how much we choose to praise Him when our day turns out worse rather than better. I don’t know how much we think about…
