But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these. (Judges 13:23) Six ways in scripture how what we are going through is to be interpreted. *Sermon Summary:* The sermon explores the significance of interpreting life's events through a scriptural lens, drawing from the story of Manoah and his wife's encounter with an angel. It emphasizes that while initial reactions might be fear or apprehension, a deeper understanding reveals God's loving providence and purpose, particularly when viewed in light of fulfilled prophecy and the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. The message encourages listeners to trust in God's timing, to observe life's experiences, and to recognize that even challenging circumstances can be opportunities for growth and a testament to God's grace, ultimately leading to a strengthened faith and a hopeful anticipation of His return.
