Did you know?

This morning I want to have some fun with this post. I have fun when I do most of my posts but this morning I want to have fun. Have you ever read how old some of the people used to live? I just read that over this morning and it blew my mind!

- Adam 930 years
- Seth 912 years
- Enosh 905 years
- Kenan 910 years
- Mahalalel 895 years
- Jared 962 years
- Methuselah 969 years
- Lamech 777 years

How was this even possible? I think the answer might come in Genesis 6 which I will read tomorrow, but I am awfully curious. Think about that life expectancy. The crazy thing is, is that all of those people were having kids when they were in their 100's or later!

You probably read this through and thought...why did he post about this. There is a fact that I didn't tell you. Enoch, the son of Jared, never died. Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. There is no record of Enoch ever dying. He is the only person ever, who did not have to experience death. If that doesn't blow your mind, I don't know what will. Enoch is what I wanted to encourage you with today. He was so ridiculously faithful that God took him away. I would've loved to meet someone with that much faith.  I don't know much about Enoch other than the fact that he never died, but I wish I did know more. I encourage you to have faith like him. He must have been doing something right. I want to make sure you understand that I am not saying you will never die if you have faith, but maybe I am. Would you consider dying death during this short time that we are on earth?  I probably sound crazy saying that. We have faith in God and we have never seen Him. We have faith that as believers that when we die, we will go to heaven, then we will live forever. So if you have ridiculous amount of faith do you really die? Something to think about. Yeah we are going to die, but think about it. When my time comes I know that it's going to be the beginning to life forever.
