As we continue our series in the Old Testament, we come to the story of Samson’s parents and their encounter with theAngel of the LORD in Judges 13. We see how when they ask for His name, the Angel of the LORD replies that it is “wonderful,” invoking the idea that, by His very nature, God is beyond comprehension—indescribable in glory and majesty. Like Samson’s parents, we are meant to respond to this revelation with worship, and reverent fear. Yet this same wonder also invites us to place our hope inHim, trusting in His goodness and faithfulness. In knowing God as “wonderful,” we are drawn not only to marvel but to hope in who He is.
