#79  RULER    "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?  For we saw His star in the east, and have come to worship Him."  And when Herod the King heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.   And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he began to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.  And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it has been written by the prophet, "And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a RULER, who will shepherd My people Israel."' Matthew 2:1-6

"But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be RULER in Israel.  His going forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity."  Micah 5:2

Jesus, You are my RULER!  You have supreme power and You are sovereign!    Jesus, You are the fulfillment of the prophesy that You would be born in Bethlehem. The star in the East directed the Magi (astrologers) to You.   This fulfillment of a prophesy hundreds of years earlier was specifically accurate to the exact place where You would be born!  Amazing!   Nothing could stop the fulfillment of the prophesy of a RULER who would be born in Bethlehem!     Jesus, You were sent to be RULER over all the world and also to RULE over my heart and life.    You are the One I can trust!  Am I allowing you to be RULER of my life - or do I want to be in control?  Have I bowed my knee to You and allowed You to RULE?  You, whose birth was prophesied hundreds of years before, can see behind and ahead - You know what is best!   Jesus I want to trust You as my Supreme RULER!  I worship You just as the Magi worshipped You when they followed the star to find You!  You alone are worthy to be trusted and worshipped!

(Are you trusting in Jesus as your RULER or wanting to be in control?  Worship Him today as your RULER!)#100dayswithjesus
