The Word with David Platt is a resource

0:02

from .net. Isaiah

0:07

32 verse 11, tremble,

0:10

you women who are at ease, shudder,

0:13

you complacent ones. I'll

0:16

just stop there. There's more that

0:18

goes on throughout this chapter. And

0:20

really before these verses,

0:23

there is a clarion

0:25

call in Isaiah

0:27

32. for God's

0:29

people and specifically the women God

0:31

is speaking to at this

0:33

point to wake up

0:35

from complacency

0:38

from apathy and

0:40

Realize judgment is coming.

0:42

That's the context here

0:44

and Isaiah 32 don't

0:47

pretend like everything's great

0:49

and kind of coast through

0:51

life. No wake up tremble

0:53

and shudder Do

0:56

not live in complacency.

0:59

And there is a

1:01

word here for every

1:03

one of us today who is

1:05

a follower of Jesus. There

1:07

is no place,

1:10

no room

1:12

for complacency among

1:14

followers of Jesus. For

1:17

apathy, for just

1:19

kind of coasting through

1:21

life. Think about what it

1:23

means to follow Jesus. One, it

1:26

means you have the bread

1:28

of life and you have eternal

1:30

joy and peace and hope

1:33

in your life today. You have

1:35

communion with God today. You

1:37

have a relationship with God himself.

1:39

That is cause for joy

1:41

and vibrancy in your life. Jesus

1:43

says, I came so you

1:46

might have life and have it

1:48

to the full and abundant. And

1:50

I know, I know our emotions

1:52

in this world vary, but that's

1:54

just it. We're never

1:57

just coasting. Like we

1:59

are rejoicing and grieving.

2:02

So yes, different emotions at different

2:04

points, but not complacent. And

2:06

to use the context here from

2:08

Isaiah 32, we know this

2:10

world, everything we see around us

2:12

today is not going to

2:14

last. We know eternal judgment is

2:16

coming. That this world and

2:18

all that it offers is going

2:20

to fade away. It's going

2:22

to be gone. And

2:24

the only thing that's going to

2:26

matter is whether people have Jesus.

2:29

And if they don't have Jesus, they

2:31

will spend eternity in

2:33

judgment due sin. So

2:35

we can't live with

2:38

complacency today. We must

2:40

live with urgency. to

2:42

share the gospel with people around

2:44

us today, to tell people, to warn

2:46

people that judgment is coming. That's

2:48

the whole picture in Isaiah chapter 32.

2:51

These complacent people are being

2:53

warned of coming disaster and

2:55

we need to warn people

2:57

around us. So let's

3:00

not live complacent

3:02

Christian lives coasting through

3:04

life in this

3:06

world. God help us,

3:08

we pray, to

3:10

live. lives of

3:12

vibrancy with you in relationship

3:14

with you. God help

3:17

us not to live bored

3:19

in relationship with you.

3:21

God help us to experience

3:23

the wonder, the delight,

3:26

the beauty, the joy, the

3:28

peace, and even amidst

3:30

the heartache, the strength and

3:32

comfort that you provide

3:34

for us in this world.

3:37

And God, we pray that you'd help

3:39

us to live with urgency today

3:41

for the spread of your love to

3:43

people around us. God, help us

3:46

to have a feeling sense of, well,

3:48

even our brothers and sisters in

3:50

Christ around us, help us to live,

3:52

to serve them and care for

3:54

them and love them, not to be

3:56

apathetic in light of needs in

3:58

their lives. And God, all

4:00

the more so when it comes to people who

4:02

don't know you, who, if you

4:04

were to come back right now, Jesus

4:06

would not be ready. Or if something

4:08

were to happen to them, they were

4:10

to read their last breath today, they

4:12

would not be ready to help us

4:14

to live with urgency to spread the

4:16

gospel today. And all the

4:18

more so, to spread the

4:21

gospel to people have never even

4:23

heard it. God, we pray

4:25

for the Dwar people of India

4:27

today, for 1 .1 million in

4:29

this people group. God, we

4:31

pray, please help us as your

4:33

church to be urgent with

4:35

your commission. to spread the gospel

4:37

to the Dwar and thousands of other

4:39

people groups like them to give toward

4:41

that end, to pray like we're doing

4:43

now, God, toward that end. Please, please,

4:45

please, we pray. Not coasting

4:47

through prayer, not complacent in

4:49

prayer, but with urgency in prayer.

4:51

Please, oh God, save the

4:53

Dwar. Please cause the gospel to

4:56

go through your church in

4:58

India and through people from outside

5:00

your church in India to

5:02

the Dwar people. Please, oh God,

5:04

help us to be free

5:06

from complacency. in our lives. In

5:08

Jesus' name we pray, according

5:10

to Isaiah 32 verse 11. Amen.
