Bethlehem was little. It was an insignificant little town. It was small. 5 miles north of Bethlehem is Jerusalem. God could have used the popular and well-known city of Jerusalem to bring Jesus to earth for the first time, but instead God chose the small, insignificant town of Bethlehem.
It turns out that God always seems to be drawn to the little, to the small, to the insignificant. Because God likes to use small, weak things to show His power. And so, it’s no accident that the Savior of the World enters the planet through small town, Bethlehem. That’s how God works… and it’s still how God works today. What about in your own life? Are you trying to do everything by your own strength or are you leaving room for faith in your life where God may have to show up for something to happen? God uses all kinds of little things, little Bethlehems, in big ways. Only God!
