But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,

though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,

yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;

whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Micah 5:2

God reminds us that greatness often rises from places others overlook. The Hidden Manna here is that God specializes in Shining His light through what seems small, quiet, or insignificant. Bethlehem wasn’t flashy, but it was chosen—and what God chooses always carries purpose. Shine means refusing to underestimate yourself just because your beginning looks humble. God’s plan isn’t limited by size, status, or recognition; it’s guided by divine intention. Today, don’t despise your “little” place—it may be the very ground God uses to reveal something powerful. Let your life Shine with confidence, knowing that God often hides His brightest work in the most unexpected places.
