“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:2

O Father, Your works and your plan continue to amaze me. You are a God of the unexpected and surprising. No one could have or would have anticipated or even imagined that a King would have come from the clan of Judah or from the little town of Bethlehem. No one would have expected this. Yet this is your promise. You promised that the little town of Bethlehem would be the place where the King who would save and then rule all the nations would be born. And then you carried it out! You did not fail in your promise. You arranged a census and a relocation for the parents of our Savior. You arranged a place for him to be born and a manger in which he might be laid. O almighty God, your works and your plan to continue to amaze me. Though I do not have specifics like this for my own life, lead me to look forward to each tomorrow that you grant me with hope and expectation. Yes, lead me to look forward to this today with the same hope and expectation. I know that you have a plan for it; I just don’t know what it is yet. But when your plans are revealed in my life, I can’t wait to see what they are. All that you do is better than I might imagine. I can’t wait, Father. Keep on doing the amazing things that you do for me. Amen.

God’s plans and his works are beyond our imagination and better than we might dream. Wait on him on the edge of your seat. You can’t imagine what good he has in store for you.
