Alone With God

When a human reaches a point in life in which he finds himself with no one left but God to turn to, then he realizes that God is all he needs. What an advantage!

This is a discovery that far surpasses any human understanding that can be acquired by man: An ultimate realization; enthroning God and dethroning self. John the Baptist stated it this way: "He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30) It is when man is alone with God that he, like Moses, is exhorted to take off his shoes because of the holy presence of God. Or he covers his mouth as Isaiah and cries, "Unclean, Unclean!" Being alone in His presence condemns the sinful nature of the flesh. Being alone with God influences one to be more holy and less Adamic. As one preacher declared, "Follow the cloud and not the crowd!"

Many a person has found Him standing by his side when all others forsook him. Alone with God is the greatest comfort humans can experience. Friends will let you down; Jesus won't! Family will forsake you; Jesus won't! You can deceive yourself; Jesus won't! Being alone in His presence produces a likeness to God that no crowd can give.
