'O Bethlehem of Judah, you are not just a lowly village in Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.' Matthew 2:6No matter how insignificant a person, place, or event may seem to us, God has BIG purposes for them! From a poor, dusty, little town in Bethlehem would come the most earth shattering event in all of human history! To a village carpenter and a teenage girl would come the opportunity to change the world. Sometimes we feel unimportant, or unseen, but God knows who we are, and why we are in the place and events we are in. Each of us have a significant, and purposeful place in human history -- otherwise we wouldn't be here. God knows who we are, why we are here, and what is happening in our lives.
Lord, sometimes we feel like a dusty little spot on the map of this world, like nothing of importance or significance can come from our lives, but You have BIG plans for us. Help us to see You in the events of our lives, and be reassured that we matter not just to You, but we matter for the unfolding of Your plans and Your Kingdom come. Amen

I love how the biggest event in history came in Bethlehem. You know great things can happen no matter where you were born, raised or reside.
