Micah 5:2-5 (NIV)
Read by: Kathy Pope
Today’s passage takes us to the book of Micah. Micah was a prophet at the same time as Isaiah. Similarly, he prophesied Israel’s downfall to the kingdom of Assyria. He also prophesied about a coming Messiah, describing him as a shepherd—one whose origins are ancient, one coming from... the small town of Bethlehem.
Today’s passage reminds us that God often chooses the small things, weak things, imperfect, humble and unlikely things to work out his plan of redemption in the world, even in the midst of approaching armies.
So as we wait for the LORD this Advent, what areas of your life, your family, your community, might God want to use to bring about his purposes?
----------REFLECT----------
1. What did you hear in the passage? Was there a word or phrase that stood out to you?
2. In the turmoil of our world today and in your own struggles and pain, what does it mean for Jesus to “be our peace?”
3. Take some time today to sit with the words of this passage. If there is something specific God has spoken to you, take some time to process that alone or with a friend.
