Little Bethlehem

A small thatched cottage with a vegetable patch.

Read

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel—One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.

Micah 5:2 (BSB)

Think

Bethlehem was a small town, not a big famous city. But Micah said the ruler God promised would come from there, and about seven hundred years later Jesus was born there.

Talk about it

Why do you think God chose a small town?

Pray

God, thank You that You use small places and small people.
