“So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah

 and to all those living in Jerusalem... ”

Jeremiah 25:2

  

Often the Word of the Lord was delivered by a Prophet to a King or the leaders of the people.

In Jeremiah 25 and the first two verses we are twice told that the word was for all the people of Judah.

So many times we may hear a word for someone else and think that because it is specific to them we are ‘free and clear’ of anything spoken.

But often there can be great value in hearing and applying what may be spoken to another person.

Sure, this is not always the case.

God often will speak specific things to specific individuals meant for them alone.

The word the angel Gabriel brought to Mary comes to mind.

But don’t always be so quick to disregard the word God is speaking to so-and-so.

Because there is still great value in all God speaks.

Besides, if there are no coincidences with God then perhaps He has a purpose in you hearing that word.

Jeremiah’s words to Judah and all its’ people still carries wisdom. Lessons and value to us today!
