Micah 5:2
This king that Micah is going on about is . . . . (you've guessed it!) . . . . Jesus!!! (the Messiah)
Micah actually predicted Christ's birthplace hundreds of years before it took place. The promised eternal king from the line of David, who would come to Earth and live as a man, had been alive forever_ "from everlasting ages past."
Although eternal, he entered human history as a man, Jesus of Nazareth.
Many people during the time of Jesus would refuse to believe that He was the son of God (the messiah) because of his lowley and humble upbringing.
"A carpenter from bethlehem?!"
Their messiah would have royal blood and be rich and powerful (in the eyes of humans) and deffinately would NOT ride into the city He was supposed to be king of on a donkey!
So many times our preconceived ideas of what God is going to do in our lives gets in the way of what God actually wants to do with us.
Lord, help me to not get caught up on what I am expecting from You, and help me to concerntrate on listening to what You have to say.
Love you x
