With the world striving for comfort, peace, and stability, our behavior plays a large role determining if we receive it or not. When we think only of ourselves and perform wicked acts, peace, comfort, and stability will never be attained. Wickedness breeds instability. Why? Because wickedness opposes God. There is no peace for the wicked. How can peace, which comes from God, enter into your life when you are rebelling against Him? It’s like robbing a store, and expecting the owner to welcome you back to shop there anytime you want. If you steal from God, don’t expect Him to grant you the fruits of the Spirit. The Spirit’s job is to convict us, to get us back into the right relationship with God. Practicing evil only drives us further from God. There is no peace or stability for the wicked, just chaos waiting to explode.
3 Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.
