Enoch 36
1 And from thence I went to the south to the ends of the earth, and saw there three open portals of the heaven: and thence there come dew, rain, and wind.
2 And from thence I went to the east to the ends of the heaven, and saw here the three eastern portals of heaven open and small portals above them.
3 Through each of these small portals pass the stars of heaven and run their course to the west on the path which is shown to them.
4 And as often as I saw I blessed always the Lord of Glory, and I continued to bless the Lord of Glory who has wrought great and glorious wonders, to show the greatness of His work to the angels and to spirits and to men, that they might praise His work and all His creation: that they might see the work of His might and praise the great work of His hands and bless Him for ever.

Questions to Think About
- Enoch's default response to everything he witnesses is worship, not just curiosity. When you learn something new and amazing, whether in nature, science, or Scripture, does your first instinct move toward praising God for it?
- This chapter closes an entire section of cosmic touring with a call for angels, spirits, and men alike to praise God's work together. What would it look like for you to praise God more intentionally for things you typically just take for granted, like weather, the stars, or the seasons?
