Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the Old Testament book of Micah, Chapter Five.
Kyle Olson, Technical Director
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 NLT) God could have directed Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem in many ways, but He chose to do it through a Roman emperor's decree. Because Mary and Joseph both traced their ancestry back to King David, they went to the boyhood town of David, which was Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary were in Nazareth, but God needed them in Bethlehem. Micah had prophesied, “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 NLT). Thus, God had a plan. We read in Luke's Gospel, “At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. . . . And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David's ancient home… He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child” (2:1, 4–5 NLT). This reminds us that ultimately, God is in control. World figures come and go. Dictators come and go. Kings, queens, prime ministers, and presidents come and go. But God moves people the way He wants to move them. Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king's heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord; he guides it wherever he pleases” (NLT). Billy Graham once quoted, “Jesus is the hinge on which the door of history swings, the point at which eternity intersects with time, the Savior who redeems time by drawing all things to himself.” Mary and Joseph made their way to Bethlehem. It was a difficult and dangerous journey, and when they finally arrived, they looked for a place to stay. But there was no room for them, which was indicative of the treatment Jesus received when He walked this earth. Essentially Jesus was homeless. Yes, He would stay in the homes of people, but He also slept out under the stars on the Mount of Olives. We find this interesting verse in Luke: “Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives” (21:37 NLT). The One who created Heaven and Earth, the One who said, “There is more than enough room in my Father's home” (John 14:2 NLT), left His home in Heaven so that we, too, could have a home there. It was all part of God's plan for our Savior to be born in the humblest of settings. At the same time, the innkeeper missed out on an opportunity. The same thing can happen to us. We can be so busy shopping for Christmas and talking about Christmas that we can't seem to find time to go to church or even take a moment to pray. Jesus was born so that we could be born again. He left his home in Heaven to make a home in our hearts. We need to make room for Jesus, not only during this Christmas season but all year long. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Rodney's sermon, "Before There Was a Christmas," explores the profound truths about God's eternal plan, promise, prophecy, and person—fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Before the traditions and celebrations of Christmas existed, God had a plan for redemption. The Bible unfolds a consistent promise of salvation, from Genesis to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, foreshadowed through Old Testament prophecies and realized in the New Testament. The message emphasizes that the entire Bible points to Jesus, the centerpiece of God's story, who came to offer eternal hope and peace to humanity through His birth, life, death, and resurrection.

The post Micah 5:1-5a appeared first on Mercy Presbyterian Church.
At the heart of the Advent season is a promise about Jesus. But promises are only valuable if they're kept; if we put our hope in a promise, but that promise is broken, that can feel unbearable. It would be better to not trust that kind of promise to begin with. A lot of us experience our relationship with God that way, even in Advent. Through this passage, God will show us that we can have complete comfort in his promises because we know he will always keep them.

As we finish out the second half of the book of Micah, we'll immediately see another crystal clear prophecy; this one predicts that the coming Messiah will be born in Bethlehem, a small town that was unlikely to have anything significant take place within it. God promises that one day he will remove those earthly and idolatrous occupations which keep his people from worshipping him rightly, asserting that nations who have not obeyed him will receive his anger and wrath. Finally, Micah looks past the coming destruction of Israel to declare the future hope of redemption for those who repent from their sin and serve the Lord.Micah 5 - 1:08 . Micah 6 - 4:07 .

Micah 5 tells us of the coming ruler from Bethlehem, a seemingly insignificant town, who will bring deliverance to Israel. This ruler whose origins are "from of old, from ancient days," is Jesus Christ. . He is the True King who leads, protects, and brings peace to His people. He is the ruler, born in humble circumstances, yet destined to reign over all nations with justice and grace. Through His reign, we find true security and salvation.
