Judges 13:19-21 Wondrous Thing!

 19So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on— 20it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground. 21When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.

He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on: “The Angel of the LORD proved He was wonderful by doing a wondrous thing - ascending in the flame of sacrifice to heaven.” (Guzik)

“The first remark arising out the story of Manoah and his wife is this – that oftentimes we pray for blessings which will make us tremble when we receive them…A second remark is this-Very frequently deep prostration of spirit is the forerunner of some remarkable blessing.” (Spurgeon)

Then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the LORD: “For the first time, Manoah and his wife understood that this Person was no mere man or messenger from God. They realized they spoke with God Himself.” (Guzik)

When my time comes and I die, I can’t wait to be in the presence of the Lord Jesus!

Can you?
