On my behalf!

 Micah 5: 2-5av 2b “Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf.”

From Bethlehem, a small village, will come a ruler. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf. The woman in labor gives birth. He will stand to lead His flock with the Lord’s strength, and in the majesty of the Lord. And he will be the source of peace.

Welcome the unexpected peace in your day today. The prophecy in this passage emphasizes that a ruler will come from a small village. The importance of natural phenomena- a women giving birth. The strength of the Lord. And His mission to bring peace to you. Enjoy the small moments provided by God to experience peace in your life.

Prayer: Almighty God who loves all who believe, we thank you for the small moments that bring us peace each day. Give us the strength to continue to shine your light to the world. Amen.
