Today’s passage: Micah 5
Helpful thoughts:
- In chapter 4, Micah prophesied the return from exile, a coming battle (Armageddon) and a global reign of peace (The Millennial Kingdom). In Chapter 5, we get to see Who will bring about the victory in that battle and the coming kingdom.
- One born in Bethlehem.
- Whose origin is from of old, from ancient days (He exists before He was born…eternal God the Son!).
- One who will stand and shepherd His people.
- One who will be their peace.
- When Christ has victory and ushers in His kingdom, the whole world will know there is only one true God.
Questions to consider:
- How does reading these prophesies (Some which have already been fulfilled, some yet to be) strengthen your faith? What do we learn about God, His plan, and even our future by reading through the Old Testament?
- How could Micah 5:2 be about Jesus and no one else? How did Jesus fulfill this prophecy?
- If this solitary worship is what the Kingdom will look like, what must we strive for in our own hearts today as citizens of the Kingdom of God? Who is our God? Who alone deserves our worship and praise? Who is our King?
