God himself says that the wicked have no peace (Isaiah 48:22). Who are the wicked? They are people who live indifferent to God, and who don’t care about Him. Those who say: “If I don’t help myself, God won’t help me!” or “What is God going to do for me?” They don’t count much on God. They have an idea that God is very distant. They do things the way they believe (even if it hurts other people). For them, life is a struggle for survival. They are not concerned with their relationship with God and His principles.

It is a fact that the wicked have no peace. Having money, success, fame and beauty do not necessarily solve someone’s problems. Peace is the fruit of something else. God says, “Oh, that you had heeded My commandments (…)” (Isaiah 48:18). It’s like the mother or father who laments for their child doing badly in life. The father says: “Don’t get involved with that person. Do not go to such a place. Don’t do those things.” And the son goes there and does it.

So, you who are looking for peace, think about this. The person who seeks peace feels as if nothing is good for them. They know that the inside of them is not well. I don’t say this to point the finger at you, but to show you the reason why you are like this, to give you an understanding so that you can look for the solution. You are without peace because you ignore God’s commandments.

If you want to find peace, what do you have to do? You have to stop living the way you’ve been living so far (which hasn’t worked) and say: “My God, I want to hear You starting today. I want to be like a good child to the Lord. I know that this will often annoy me. I know that I will have to stop doing certain things and start doing other things to please You, but I no longer want to be this rebellious child, who is indifferent!”.

Your life will still have problems, but if your decision is sincere, you will have peace within you. You will know that God will be by your side, guarding and guiding you. So, you will have to follow His directions. Think: God’s guidance is not heavy. You already follow other people’s guidance (from the internet, for example), is it hard to follow God’s guidance? Just listen to Him.

Do it. But don’t just do it for one day. Instead of arguing with Him, obey Him. If you do this, the result will be peace flowing like a river. This is available for you. Check out the message above and reflect.
