In this passage we find the author through the Holy Spirit, calling, reminding us of three things we as the church need to do.   The author of Hebrews encourages Jewish believers to three things. He does it by saying “Let us…”   These is what we are called to do as members of God’s Body, the Church.   The first one deals with worship and having a heart of faith when we approach God. The second one deals with gripping firmly the hope of our confession and the third one deals with promoting or inciting each other to love and good works in our community of faith.

If anyone had uncertainties about the future, it was Israel. Their disobedience brought God’s judgement on their lives. They were to be taken captives by the Babylonians. They surely thought, “This is the end of us. This is the end of our nation. This is the end of our future. There is no point in trusting God anymore. He has forgotten us.”

But God speaks through the prophet Isaiah and offers them hope. Hope amid their uncertainties. He shares a five-fold encouragement to face them. These are good for us as well as we face our own uncertainties.

The truth of Scripture is clear: It all begins with God. This is exemplified for us in the life of Jeremiah in the first chapter. We learn that everything about us, even before we existed begins with God who calls us to follow him so that we can carry the tasks given to us. We must respond, acknowledge His workings in our lives and obey Him. When we do, He will use us.
