• Lawton speaks on the beginning of the book of hope within the broader structure of Jeremiah, contained in 30:5–7. The passage reflects similarities to the words and ideas of Isaiah, Hosea, and Ezekiel. It deals with Jeremiah's crisis and the crisis of Judah. God meets man in his present crisis and calls him to look upward to Him. Each day, every person undergoes trials and crises. Crisis presents the choice to either look inward or to look upward to God. Scripture calls all people to look beyond themselves, to be drawn away from self-focus during calamity, and instead to look to the God of all hope. Our faith is centred on God, who stands alongside humanity through every crisis. God knows our suffering, life, and death, knowing us intimately. We are called to place our trust in Him.
