Reading for January 2nd

 Read Judges 13.1-7. In 13.1-7: Samson's birth foretold. In verse 3: The angel of the Lord represents the Lord's visible presence. In verse 4: Wine or strong drink (Num 6.3) were forbidden to a nazirite. She is to keep away from these because her unborn son must be untouched by them. In verse 5: A nazirite lived a special lifestyle dedicated to God's purpose (Num 6.1-21; 1 Sam 1.11). Normally nazirites took a temporary vow of dedication, Samson was to be a permanent nazirite from birth. In verse 6: She supposes she has encountered a man of God, that is a prophet, but from his striking appearance she comes close to sensing the actual truth-that he was a divine messenger.
