Can I tell you something I’ve been thinking about?

If I had to choose someone in the Bible to be like, I don’t think it would be David. Or Job. Or even Noah. I respect them deeply—don’t get me wrong—but their stories are heavy. David struggled. Job suffered. Noah… I imagine he carried a kind of trauma most of us can’t even name.

But Enoch?

Enoch walked with God. And then he was no more, because God took him.
That’s it. That’s the story.

And for some reason… that moves me more than all the others.

Have you ever read that verse and paused?
Just sat with it?

There’s no dramatic battle. No fire-from-heaven moment. Just a quiet man whose nearness to God was so real—so steady—that God said, “Come with Me.”

That kind of life… it stays with me.

I think I’ve always been drawn to Enoch. But I didn’t really realize that was what I was chasing until a few years ago. When life got noisy. Busy. Full. Maybe you know what that’s like—when your calendar’s packed and your mind is too, and suddenly you realize: I’ve been faithful, but I miss being close.

What does walking with God look like for you right now?
Not ideally. Honestly.

Because for me, there have been seasons where I’ve believed in Him, trusted Him, even served Him—but I wasn’t with Him the way I wanted to be. My hands were full, but my heart was hungry.

I don’t want to be famous. I don’t need to be remembered for anything grand. But I do want to be considered. I want to walk with God in such a way that He knows I’m near—even when no one else sees it.

And if I’m being honest… that kind of nearness might cost something.

It might mean letting go of things I’ve worked hard to build. Things that make me feel secure. Am I ready for that?

Would you be?

Have you ever felt God tugging at your heart—not to do more, but to come closer?
Not to prove anything, just to walk?

Sometimes, I imagine what it would be like if God looked across the earth and said, “Who’s really with Me?” I want to be found—not perfect, but present. Not loud, but near.

And that’s why I keep coming back to Enoch. His story isn’t about greatness in the world’s eyes. It’s about intimacy. Quiet faith. A clean heart. A right spirit.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
(Psalm 51:10)

That’s what I want, more than anything.
To be aligned. Steady. Ready, if He ever says,
“Come with Me.”

Prayer

Lord, I don’t need to be loud. I just want to be close.
In a world full of noise and striving, help me quiet down enough to hear You.
Create in me a clean heart—not just a good one, but one that’s aligned with Yours.
Renew my mind when it’s distracted. Purify my motives when they drift.
Teach me how to walk with You—not just believe in You, but be with You.
Let my life be the kind You can delight in.
Not for what I build. Not for what I achieve. But for how I walked—with You.

Amen.
