Isaiah chapter 32, verse 11.

Trimble, you women who are at ease.

Shutter, you complacent ones.

I'll just stop there.

There's more that goes on throughout this chapter.

And really, before these verses,

there is a clarion call in Isaiah 32 for God's people, and specifically the women God is speaking to

at this point, to wake up from complacency, from apathy, and realize judgment is coming.

That's the context here in Isaiah 32.

Don't pretend like everything's great and kind of coast through life.

No, wake up, tremble and shudder. Do not live in complacency. And there is a word

here for every one of us today, who is a follower of Jesus. There is no place, no room for complacency among followers of Jesus, for apathy, for just kind of coasting

through life. You think about what it means to follow Jesus. One, it means you have the bread of life and you have eternal joy and peace

and hope in your life today. You have communion with God today. You have a relationship with God himself.

Like that is cause for joy and vibrancy in your life Jesus says I came so you might have

life and have it to the full and abundant and I know I know our emotions in this world vary but that's

just it we're never just coasting like we are rejoicing and grieving. So yes, different emotions at different

points, but not complacent. And to use the context here from Isaiah 32, we know this world,

everything we see around us today is not going to last. We know eternal judgment is coming that this world and all that it

offers is going to fade away. It's going to be gone. And the only thing that's going to matter is

whether people have Jesus. And if they don't have Jesus, they will spend eternity in judgment. Do sin. So we can't live with complacency today.
