25 Days of Advent Daily Scripture Reading – Day 15

Our daily Scripture reading for the 25 Days of Advent Bible Study Series is Micah 5:1-5:

Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops;
    siege is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the judge of Israel
    on the cheek.
²But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
    one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
    from ancient days.
³Therefore he shall give them up until the time
    when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of his brothers shall return
    to the people of Israel.
⁴And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
    to the ends of the earth.
⁵And he shall be their peace.

When the Assyrian comes into our land
    and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven shepherds
    and eight princes of men;

25 Days of Advent Reflections & Commentary – Day 15

Born in Bethlehem

In today’s lesson of the 25 Days of Advent Bible Study Series, we discovered the foretelling of the Messiah as being born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1-5):

This is later fulfilled in the New Testament.

Here’s what we know in this Scripture:

Jesus’ birthplace held significant meaning…it had to be fulfilled according to this Scripture in Micah.

Even though Christ’s birthplace and the circumstances surrounding His birth were not ideal, they were all predestined.

For that reason, we can take heart in knowing that no matter how we got here or where we were born, it’s all a part of God’s master plan to fulfill His plans and purposes in the earth. For that, we should rejoice and live our lives well and in honor of the Lord!

25 Days of Advent Prayer – Day 15

Pray this with me for our 25 Days of Advent Prayer:

Dear Lord, I thank you for your fulfillment of Micah 5:1-5.

Jesus the Messiah was prophesied about in this Scripture as being born in Bethlehem.

God, you make no mistakes about our birthplace. It has significance to our purpose here on earth, just as it did with Jesus.

Thank you for pre-destined birthplaces that will set into motion the fulfillment of your plans and purposes of our lives.

And even when Herod tried his best to rid the world of our Lord, God your hands of protection were there to ensure all of Scripture was fulfilled and no harm would come to Him.

May our hearts keep the focus on Christ’s birth, purpose, and fulfillment during this Holy Season.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
