Peace and Righteousness

Good Morning. I read from Isaiah chapter 48 earlier today and in verse 18, God said to his people that they forfeited peace and righteousness because of their rebellion...

"Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!

Then your peace would have been like a river,

and your righteousness like the waves of the sea..."

Are we missing out on God's perfect peace because we are not obeying him? Is our righteousness consistent like the waves of the sea?

I know that I need to pay more attention to God. How about you?
