04 JOYFUL HEART BLESSINGS

"But you, O Bethlehem, are only a small village among 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

God delights big in the little things. Time and time again we read these stories in Scripture, don't we? He uses the least of these, the sick, the outcast, the small, a stable-born baby, all for His greater plan. Even so today. We do not need the most social influence, political power, or simply the loudest voice in the room to make the biggest difference. Wherever you are here and now, look around for a moment. Your corner matters and you are there for purpose! God is always at work, especially beyond what we might see in the present. I remind myself of this daily - now let's encourage and remember together!

Let's pray together.

Dear God,

Thank You for showing me the gift of looking for You in unexpected places. Your wonder-working is on full display often in ways that are quick to escape my notice. Thank You for this Old Testament prophecy, pointing to Jesus’ coming. Every promise is fulfilled in Him, and even so today. May I always keep this precious truth close at heart and mind.

Amen.

Blessing for little ones

Dear God, I may be little here today, but You are big in every way! Jesus was born a small baby in a stable. Thank You for working in me too, for You are more than able. Amen.
