Micah 5:1-5a
Question for Reflection:
Where have you glimpsed God’s grace in unexpected places?
Prayer for the day:
O, Holy One, you ordained that the Savior of the world would be born in the quiet town of Bethlehem. Though we read the scriptures, we are frequently surprised that you bring about grace in small places. Open our hearts and eyes as we prepare this season that we might look for your grace in the simplest of places.
Amen
~ Josh Brockway, Director for Spiritual Life and Discipleship
