Activity: Have you ever heard the song, “He’s got the whole world, in His Hands?” It reminds us that
God is sovereign over the entire universe. Nothing escapes his notice, and everything is a part of His
plan. The birthplace of Jesus was foretold 700 years before the Messiah came to earth in Micah 5:1-2.
