“But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
‘There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked.’” (Isaiah 57:20–21, NASB)
One of the key differences between a pond and the sea lies in the nature of their waters. A pond remains calm and still. But the sea is never quiet—day and night it keeps roaring restlessly. In the same way, the heart of the wicked is always in turmoil. There is no peace in the heart of the wicked.
Whatever is thrown into the pond, it silently receives and remains still. But the sea, unable to rest, constantly throws refuse and dirt onto the shore. This is yet another distinction between the wicked and others.
The wicked are ever ready to engage in sinful acts for money or material gain. After accumulating wealth through unrighteous means, the wicked man walks proudly. Indeed, “For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desire, and the greedy person curses and shows disrespect to the LORD.” (Psalm 10:3, NASB)
Beloved, if we read the daily news today, we can clearly understand how greatly wickedness has increased in our nation. Not only men, but women too have begun to match men in acts of wickedness. The increase of wicked people is one of the signs of the last days. The Apostle Jude reminds us of this: “They were saying to you, ‘In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” (Jude 1:18, NASB)
Today, one major reason for the rise in suicides is the wicked nature of people. Like the restless sea that casts mud and dirt on the shore, the wicked man, whose life reveals only impurity, ultimately ends his life. Yes, there is no peace for them. Yet God does not hate the wicked person—He hates the wickedness in him. That is why God says, “Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord GOD, “rather than that he would turn from his ways and live?” (Ezekiel 18:23, NASB)
Though the life of the wicked may be like the sea that casts refuse upon the shore… though he has no peace… God is still ready to forgive and embrace him. God desires to give him peace. “Let the wicked abandon his way, and the unrighteous person his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:7, NASB)
Yes, beloved, God is willing to forgive even the one who has lived the most wicked life. None of us are such great offenders. Therefore, without fear, let us confess our sins before God and seek His forgiveness. His compassion to forgive is abundant, and He will fill us with His peace.
