“But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” - Isaiah 57v20-21
What the world would not do for peace, even a little peace. A huge chunk of human history has been given over to the quest for peace between nations. An even bigger chunk has been given over to individual’s quests for peace in their own lives. The world cries out, “peace, peace,” but God says “there is no peace for the wicked.”
How can the wicked hope for peace? What hope do they have? What assurance do they have for the future? The problem is there is no hope and no assurance. They cannot have any real peace because they have no hope for the future.
God does offer peace though. To the lost He offers peace with Him at salvation. To the saved He offers a peace beyond understanding if we will come to Him in thanksgiving and bring our needs to Him.
Praise God for the peace He offers to all who will come to Him. Praise God that there is no peace for the wicked, there is a peace if they will take it.

Well said.
Thanks for the comment. I wish folks could just see that peace is out there and there for the asking
I've learned that when we do as Jesus taught, to be last of all, and be servant of all,to sit in the last chair, alot of peace comes from that. There is no more fighting for position, no more hurt feelings from pride. You are no longer a threat to people because they know your not after their chair.
