Alone With God

Have you ever had a distinct transaction with God? Alone in His presence have you ever gone into the matter of your sins with Him? Sooner or later you must have to say to Him. There is no escaping it. There is no way of eluding the day when "Every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Rom. 14:1212So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Romans 14:12).
Mockers may mock and scoffers may scoff, but this avails not in the least. The God who made man, made Him for His glory. Man has rebelled against his Creator. Instead of doing the will of God, he seeks to do his own will, and fulfill his own desires.
He may be more or less moral. He may be more or less kind or considerate in his home or business associations, but self, not God fills his vision. Even if somewhat religious, it is himself and his own well-being he has in mind. He needs to be born again, for "in the flesh," that is, as being part of a fallen race, he cannot please God.
Man's back has been turned upon God. He counts God as an enemy. His whole endeavor is to do without his Creator.
"No God for me" is in all his thoughts day by day. And if the remembrance of God's being comes to him, he is miserable until he can banish it from his mind.
You must meet God. Today, in grace, He calls you, "Come now, let us reason together... though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow." Isa. 1:1818Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18). He longs to bless you.
You must meet God. "Tomorrow" may mean naught but judgment.
