"Leave Me Alone"

People constantly are telling God to leave them alone! Oh, yes. It happens daily at work, in marriages and even at the assembly. People over and over speak to God to leave them alone. Many are men-pleasers when it comes to their jobs when the Lord speaks to work heartily for Him (Col. 3:22-25). They are telling God to leave them alone. When it comes to marriage, how the Lord wants mates to treat one another building the relationship around Christ, training their children in the Lord, they simply do not heed telling God to leave them alone! I've known marriages where one of the mates has told the other to stop 'preaching' at them. They did not want to hear the word of God in the heat of battle. They speak to the Lord to leave them alone! At the assembly, some just go through the motions, fulfilling an obligation in their minds, or finding fault with this spoken or someone, nothing coming from their heart because their heart has grown calloused and cold, telling God to leave them alone! Others don't care what God says about pornography, dealing with their money or being honest and upright. They want God to leave them alone! Still others speak loudly for God to leave them alone when they go on their drinking binges or party life. They just don't care in actions and are speaking loudly to God to leave them alone.

Here is what is sobering. At the moment you pass from this life, that final breath that is taken, God will honor the request. He will leave you alone! The next thing you will hear will be the words from the mouth of the Lord, "Depart from Me, all you evildoers." (Luke 13:27) To be sent away from the presence of the Lord means you will be in a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. The pain will be intense and forever, never letting up, never seeing an end but the continuation of the worm gnawing on your body and the fire burning your flesh. God will leave you alone!

Let me ask you, do you really want God to leave you alone? What message are you sending to the Lord in your lifestyle and desires? How do you take correction? In answering these questions you will find yourself speaking to God...either I am surrendered to His cause and name to correct me or LEAVE ME ALONE!
