Isaiah
32:11
11 Tremble [charad], ye women that
are at ease [sha'anan]; be troubled [ragaz], ye careless ones [batach]: strip [pashat] you, and make
you bare [`arar], and gird [chagowr] sackcloth upon your loins [chalats]. KJV-Interlinear
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder,
you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and tie sackcloth around
your waist. ESV
At ease, and
complacent, are two terms that describe the carelessness of indifference.
Everyone who refuses instruction in the daily study of the word of God, fill
this description.
And the warning is
that this carelessness will result in your being stripped bare of all of your
possessions, and thrown into an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grieving.
Wearing the rags
of despair, are in contrast to wearing the fine clothes of prosperity.
When people are in
a deep sleep, then it is difficult to arouse them and bring them to a point of conscious
awareness. They are in a daze, and the reality around them is like a fog.
Spiritual sleep places
one in a daze and in a fog.
Indifference
exists when there are no seemingly real threats around you, and you are
comfortable and complacent in your life. People don’t take the threats of life,
or the threats of eternity, seriously.
The here and now
is what is real, and the tomorrows are of no concern.
And therefore the
Bible warns, and repeats the warnings, and repeats the threatenings of the
repercussions that indifferent complacency will eventually bring into the life.
Those who are
indifferent and seemingly comfortable in their worldly life, are told to
tremble and shudder. Because they are facing a tremendous loss in their life. A
loss that they don’t take seriously, or even believe is real. And for the most
part, even though life is filled with the ups and downs of difficulties
throughout life, the real disaster typically does not come until the end of
ones life. And then it is too late.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
