Jeremiah 33:1

While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time:

2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:

3 Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
