May 19th -- 1 Thessalonians 5

Peace and Safety

Peace and safety. The world has been sounding this cry during all its troubles and blood-stained history. After every war, there is to be everlasting peace; and every war is a "guarantee" of the general repose. Notably is this the case in our own day, when the world is armed to the teeth, as it never was before, and trembling in the uncertain balance of peace or war. Notwithstanding the most unpromising situation of things, every potentate, statesman, diplomatist, politician, and paper writer talks complacently of peace as a thing to be secured. "Peace" has been on their lips while war is in their hearts, and the heedless throng, anxious only about business, have caught up the strain. The saints are not of those who cry Peace and safety, except to such as fear God and keep His commandments.

Robert Roberts, Seasons of Comfort, page 133
