Hope for the Humble
Micah 5:2
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
Bethlehem wasn’t much to speak of. It was barely a dot on a map. The population was under 1,000 people. Most who lived there were hard-working shepherds and farmers. I doubt anyone had ambitions of taking a vacation to Bethlehem and it probably never made the list of the rich and famous. However, out of this tiny little town came the greatest King the world has ever known. The King of Kings. Jesus Christ. God delights in doing mighty things through the small.
