Old Testament Verse

But 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.
Micah 5:2

New Testament Verse

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."
Matthew 2:1-2 NIV

Prayer

Lord of power and might, you chose the everyday and ordinary to bring extraordinary blessings. Thank you for your upside-down kingdom, where your strength is made known in weakness and power comes to the powerless. When I think too highly of myself, humble me. Remind me that Jesus came not to be served but to serve. Amen.
