Read Micah 5:2-4

The Ruler from Bethlehem

But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
who are one of the little clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to rule in Israel,
whose origin is from of old,
from ancient days.
Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has brought forth;
then the rest of his kindred shall return
to the people of Israel.
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth

Say Together: 

They shall live secure.

Talk About:

How is Bethlehem described? Why is it surprising that the King of kings would be born in such a place?

Pray:

O Leader of the House of Israel, giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai: come to rescue us with your mighty power!
Amen.
