Micah 5:2-4

Passage

2 But 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. 3 Therefore 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. 4 And 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.

Devotional

This is the prophesy of God through Micah:
The King of kings will come from the very humble small town of Bethlehem of a long lineage. He would come at a time when Israel/ Judah is occupied by its enemies and with His coming as a mighty King, Israel would be free. He would lead with the same care as a shepherd leading his sheep. He would rule with the strength and authority given by God and under Him, His people will be safe.
