From Judges 13.23 this morning. Manoah's wife is unnamed but the angel appeared to her alone both times. When Manoah thinks they will be killed because they saw the angel of God, she reasons that all of this wouldn't have happened if God was going to kill them. She becomes the mother of Samson an extraordinary but flawed judge.
We learn from her example that:
1. God shows up in unusual places.
2. Reason is important and God-honoring as long as it doesn't usurp faith.
3. Being a faithful mother does not guarantee that one's child will be faithful to God.
