God Uses The Insignificant Things
Micah 5:2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”
This is a promise of the coming Messiah to be born in Bethlehem, of the region of Judah some 700 years before Christ came. Bethlehem is still small with under 35,000 residents today but at this time it was about 300 folks. Who would ever choose Bethlehem for the King of kings. Mens wisdom would at least say Jerusalem, the city of God. Yet, God has a pattern of using insignificant things and makes them of greatest importance to Him. Look at the church. We are the foolishness of this world yet look what God has done in His bride? I must realize who I am and who I am not. I am not anything in of myself to be admired. But in Christ, I am His chosen son. I love how He can transform a broken wretched sinner into a Jesus freak who has a life desire to live for Jesus! If you are insignificant to this world, rejoice, you are very important to God.
I'm positive a multitude of city counsels and mayors would play politics to get the Messiah into their towns yet God would never go against His word. Today, they would offer tax breaks and freebies. Why even Caesar Augustus thought his plan to get more money had a part to play in getting Joseph & Mary back home to hickville Bethlehem.
