The King From Bethlehem
Micah 3–5
“Out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”
Micah 5:2 KJV
TODAY’S DEVOTION
God chose little Bethlehem as the birthplace of the promised ruler. His kingdom does not depend on the world’s estimate of importance. Jesus enters history in humility while carrying everlasting purpose. Never dismiss what God may do through an unnoticed place, a surrendered family, or an ordinary act of faith. Greatness in His kingdom begins with His presence and rule.
