Blogging Through the Gospels - Matthew 2 & 3

S: Scripture

Matthew 2:6 “But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.”

O: Observation

Another Old Testament prophecy fulfilled. Jesus would come out of Bethlehem. Another promise for the people. That Ruler will shepherd the people. God’s people. We are His.

A: Application

God cares about the details. He has promised us many things in the Bible. I just need to be more aware. I am God’s. Jesus was sent to shepherd God’s people. I belong to God.

P: Prayer

Thank You Lord, that I belong to You. Thank You for giving me a place to belong. Thank You for caring about the details and showing Me that You are all powerful. Help me to see You better and to follow You.

God is so good!
