"When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away
When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died." Gen 5:21-27
i've seen and heard some ppl said they're tired of tis and tired of tat, ppl tend to feel hopeless, wat for to have such long life?? even some christian, they tired of being christian, tired of being obedient, tired of making a difference, and faith is slipping away.. they have plenty of excuses, oh i mean reasons to give up the faith, tis is wat we called - back sliding? btw, there was a time i used to b like one of them..
human r keep living in their own way, own desire, yet still hopeless in future, couldn trust God, feel tired, thus God take away the blessing of longevity... is tis the reason y human life is getting shorter and shorter?? anyway, i believe tis is not wat God wants, instead, He want us to walk with Him and trust Him whole heartedly in our entire life no matter how long we live on this earth.
Methuselah lived 969 years, he had longest life ever in history, he walked with God for 969 years! if we are blessed with 80 years of life, can we walk with God (trust Him, obey Him, live for Him and do His will) in our whole life for 80years?
