Day 1
Read: Genesis 4:2-5
Power Verse: Hebrews 11:1
Read Together: Genesis 5:21–24
Have you ever gone on a walk with someone in your family? When you walk together, you stay close to each other. You don't run way ahead or go in a completely different direction. You walk together!
The Bible tells us about a man named Enoch who did something very special. Enoch walked with God!
We don't know everything about Enoch's life, but we know that he loved God and followed Him. Enoch didn't just follow God when it was easy or when he went to worship. He walked with God every day!
Enoch walked so closely with God that the Bible tells us God took him to heaven without him dying. Isn't that amazing?
We can walk with God, too! We may not see God walking beside us like we see our family and friends, but we can spend time with Him every day. We can talk to Him, read His Word, worship Him, and choose to do what He says.
Walking with God isn't just something we do on Sundays. It's something we do every single day!
Talk About It:
1. Who was the man in the Bible who walked with God?
2. What do you think it means to walk with God?
3. What is one way your family can spend time with God today?
Family Challenge:
Take a short walk together today. As you walk, talk about how you can walk with God every day. You could pray together, thank God for His creation, or talk about something you learned from the Bible.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for showing us Enoch's example. We want to walk with You every day. Help us remember to pray, read Your Word, and follow You wherever You lead us. We love You! In Jesus' name, amen.

Day 2
Read Together: Galatians 5:25
“If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”
Yesterday, we learned that Enoch walked with God. But what does it look like for us to walk with God today?
Imagine walking with someone while holding a long stick between you. If one person runs ahead while the other walks slowly, things won't work very well! To walk together, you have to stay close and move in the same direction.
Our walk with God is a little like that. God wants us to stay close to Him and follow His direction. We do that in several ways!
- Read your Bible. The Bible teaches us who God is and how He wants us to live.
- Pray and listen. We can talk to God anytime, anywhere. We can also take quiet moments to think about His Word and listen for His guidance.
- Worship God. We can sing, dance, thank God, and do our best in everything we do to honor Him.
- Choose to obey God. We walk with God when we choose kindness, tell the truth, forgive others, and do what is right, even when it's hard.
We won't always make the right choice. Sometimes we will mess up. But we can ask God to forgive us, receive His help, and keep following Him.
The more we spend time with God and learn His ways, the more we learn to follow His direction!
Talk About It:
1. What are four ways we can walk with God?
2. Can you walk with God only on Sundays, or can you walk with Him every day?
3. What is one choice you can make today that honors God?
Family Challenge:
Choose one way to walk with God together today. You could read a Bible story, pray for someone who needs help, sing a worship song, or do something kind for a neighbor.
At bedtime, have each person share one way they followed God today.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You that we can walk with You every day. Help us read Your Word, talk to You, worship You, and make choices that please You. When we make mistakes, help us turn back to You. Teach our family to follow You closely. In Jesus' name, amen.

Day 3
Read Together: Hebrews 11:5–6
Did you know that Enoch is remembered in the Bible for his faith?
Hebrews 11 is sometimes called the Hall of Faith because it tells us about people who trusted God. Enoch is one of the people mentioned in this special chapter!
The Bible tells us that Enoch pleased God because of his faith. Enoch trusted God and chose to walk with Him.
Hebrews 11:6 teaches us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. That means God wants us to trust Him and believe that He is real and that He rewards those who seek Him.
Sometimes we don't know what will happen next. We might feel nervous about a new school year, have a hard day, or face something that feels scary. But we can still trust God!
Faith doesn't mean we always know what will happen. Faith means we trust God even when we don't know what will happen.
As we walk with God each day, we learn more about Him. The more we learn about His goodness, His love, and His promises, the more we can trust Him.
Remember, God doesn't promise that our lives will always be easy. But we can trust Him to be with us as we follow Him.
You don't have to do something big to walk with God. You can start today by praying, reading your Bible, loving others, and trusting Him one step at a time.
Talk About It:
1. What made Enoch's life special?
2. What does it mean to have faith in God?
3. What is something that feels hard or scary that you can trust God with?
4. What is one way you can grow closer to God this week?
Family Challenge:
Have everyone stand up and take five steps together. With each step, name one way you can walk with God:
1. Pray.
2. Read the Bible.
3. Worship.
4. Obey God.
5. Trust Him.
Then have each family member share one thing they want to trust God with this week.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for Enoch's example of faith. We want to trust You and walk closely with You. Help us remember that You are good, even when we don't know what will happen. Grow our faith and help us make choices that please You. If we have never given our hearts to Jesus, help us understand how we can begin following Him. If we have wandered away, help us turn back to You and follow You again. We want our family to walk with You every day! In Jesus' name, amen.
