But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall Come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting . . . and this One shall be Peace. (Micah 5:2-5)Nathaniel asked the question in John 1:45-46 if any good thing ever came from Nazareth, a small town of perhaps less than 500 in his day. Nazareth was an out of the way area by the Sea of Galilee. Perhaps Nathaniel and others should have been more aware of Jesus' history, rather than seeing him as a "nobody" from this small and rather unimportant little town! Are we not a lot like Nathaniel? Don't we too judge things by the appearance rather than what God could actually do? Do we not often doubt God when the things we see do not add up? Perhaps we may need to adjust our spiritual vision! Had Nathaniel and others recalled the prophetic writings and researched Jesus' history, they would have realized He was indeed out of Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1). Many times the evidence is right in our midst yet we refuse to believe. Are we also "blind to the Truth? Let's be sure this CHRISTmas to be opened to His Truths and not be shy to express them clearly!
"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Outreach Mission (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!
