Text: Judges 13:1-14 (KJV)
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
8 Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
KEY VERSE: Judges 13:8
“Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.”

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Without controversy, God’s power over all human problems is limitless. Barrenness, to some, is one of those challenging reproductive health conditions. In some climes, it attracts ridicule, suspicion, separation or even divorce in marriages. But the Scripture tells us that with God all things are possible. Of all the cases of barrenness mentioned in the Bible, only one died childless because she misused her tongue against her husband, the anointed of the Lord. Those who may be barren or have delay in childbearing should not despair. God has not forgotten them. Although modern medical science such as the less-reliable IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) procedures have relieved many, this is still incomparable to God’s perfect and precise interventions. The Scripture says, “And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken” (Genesis 21:1). That God has not changed.
Today’s passage is a testament to God’s immutability, sovereignty and intervention in all “impossible” human cases. The angel’s visit to Manoah’s family at this auspicious time in Israel was an act of divine benevolence. After experiencing years of barrenness, the wife of Manoah was promised a son, a Nazarite that would be a deliverer to Israel. It is also instructive to note the request by his parents for guidance on training the special child. Manoah and his wife believed in God’s word. But they probed further to know how to raise the son. It shows that visions, revelations and promises of God do not negate God’s demand for uprightness, and godliness in character. Parents should be committed to raising their kids in the way of the Lord.
This narrative thus assures us that whatever challenge may be going on in any family, the Lord is willing and ready to intervene and bring an end to the reproach and discomfort. When we pray, exercise faith, and obey His word, the Lord will make our homes like heaven on earth.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
To get it right with child training, check up with God.
