Advent: Week 2 | Day 4

December 9 | Micah 5:2-5

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

If there was ever a clear theme in the Christmas story it’s this: God uses unlikely people and places to accomplish his purposes. This little town, smallest amongst the clans, would cradle the Son of God. 

God is able to look at almost anyone and see potential. 

Reflection

What kind of potential does God see in you?

Prayer

God, the One who uses the small things in this world, use me.
