Micah 5:1-5

EVEN YOU
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,… out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel ...." Micah 5:2, NIV

At the time Israel was going through a rough period due to the siege laid against her by the enemies they thought their deliverance would come from one of the powerful tribes in Israel. God in His wisdom however decided to choose an insignificant city - the  smallest of them all to bring about their deliverance. Even the means by which God decided to save the world, (confession of Jesus Christ, the son of an ordinary carpenter) does it not look foolish to the wise?

The message for you is that though you may be insignificant and unimportant today in the estimation of your family members and friends, tomorrow shall be different. This is because you are the only person in your family who will bring the long awaited glorious change. You are one person before God who can never have a perfect replacement. You are also a fulfilment of prophecy. There are no coincidences in our lives for all things are ordered by God according to His plan and purpose, just walk in obedience to His Word.

Prayer Point: Lord, let my uniqueness be manifested in its due time as you designed it.
