Now you are walled around with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the ruler of Israel upon the cheek. 2But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. 3Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. 4And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; 5and he shall be the one of peace. (Micah 5:1-5a, NRSV)
O Bethlehem in Judah even though you are a little clan from you will come the ruler we have all been waiting for.
Do not ever think that size is important. God had created all things and all people and can work through and will work through all things.
This reminds me of The Empire Strikes Back where Luke is trying to get his X-wing out of the swamp and he can’t because it’s too big. And Yoda says, “size matters not. Judge me by my size do you?” And then proceeds to lift the X-wing out of the swamp.
God can and will work through you.
