"In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for >this is what the prophet has written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in >the land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers >of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the >shepherd of my people Israel.'" > > --Matthew 2:4-6 > New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... > "The first will be last and the last will be first." That's >one of Jesus' favorite sayings. Isn't it interesting that God >said it long before he was born. Isn't it interesting that >those who knew the Scriptures, but didn't know Jesus, said it >too! Isn't it interesting that Herod and Jesus lived it thirty >years before Jesus would teach it? Isn't it interesting that >Jesus gave us the Lord's Supper to remember that while Jesus >died and shed his blood, on the first day of the week, Sunday, >he rose. When it matters most, Jesus and his people will >finish first! > > >MY PRAYER... > You, O Lord, are marvelous. You are God Almighty, the holy >and majestic Creator. Yet you became the least so I can share >in your glory. Please help me, O God, never to look down on >someone else because they look like the least. I know, Father, >that as I serve and love them, I'm serving and loving you. In >Jesus name I pray. Amen. >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.20006.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
