I have been thinking a lot about purpose lately. Why did God put us on the planet? To be salt and light? What does that look like in Quincy, MA? How does a solo pastor function to help bring that about? How does a church?
Manoah's wife is told by an angel, "You are pregnant right now, carrying a son. The boy will be God's Nazirite from the moment of his birth. He will launch the deliverance from Philistine oppression."
Samson has a clear life's purpose.
Why did this barren woman bear a child? So that the 40 years of Philistine domination would end.
When she is recounting this to her husband, she says, "The boy will be God's Nazirite from the moment of birth to the day of his death."
Hmm...why was that added?
One other thing bothers me...what is this woman's name?!?
P.S. I love the descriptions of the angel: terror laced with glory and sheer wonder.
Awesome...
