Thought

God appeared to Manoah and his wife in an astonishing way, but the wife and soon-to-be mother of Samson was wise not to fear for their lives. She knew that God had accepted their offering and given them a promise of a son who would lead Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. And as long as Samson obeyed God’s plan for his life as a Nazirite, he led with wisdom. Those who wish to be wise should first obey God, and those who obey God gain more wisdom.
