No Peace for the Wicked

Is.48:22 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
Is.57:21 There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
The way of the wicked!
Is.57:20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt.
Eph.4:18 NAS being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart
Romans 1:28-32 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Is.59:7-8 Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their highways. The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked; no one who treads on them knows peace.
The righteous man, when he dies enters, into rest and peace!
Is.57:1-2 The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.
What Christ wants:
Is.61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
1Thess.4:7-8 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
From of old:
Is.64:4 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.
Lord, there are so many people who do not understand who You really are! They have no idea of Your might and power. They do not know or except that You will judge all mankind. I believe You when You say, I will judge! Keep us from Your wrath as we fall at Your feet for the mercy You have prepared for us
through Christ. Let us be ever mindful that it is not because of anything we have done but because of Your mercy. Amen
