But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf.
- Micah 5:2

Dear Lord, we marvel at Your sovereign plan, preparing your people for Christ’s coming centuries before His birth. May we trust in Your timing and rejoice in the faithfulness of the God who orchestrates history to bring salvation through Jesus. Amen.
