The Calling
Judges 13:2–5 (ESV)
There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah.
And his wife was barren and had no children.
And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.
Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son.
No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
Nazirite Vow
Calling
“He shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
Pregnancy Cravings
Have Anything!
God had an important work for the promised child of Manoah to do, and it was to secure for him the qualifications necessary for this work that the habits of both the mother and the child were to be carefully regulated.
“Neither let her drink wine or strong drink,” was the Angel’s instruction for the wife of Manoah, “nor eat any unclean thing.
All that I commanded her let her observe.”
The child will be affected for good or for evil by the habits of the mother.
She must herself be controlled by principle and must practice temperance and self-denial, if she would seek the welfare of her child.
Unwise advisers will urge upon the mother the necessity of gratifying every wish and impulse, but such teaching is false and mischievous.
The mother is by the command of God Himself placed under the most solemn obligation to exercise self-control.
Not True

Diet

Education (The Underteacher)
Upon fathers as well as mothers rests a responsibility for the child’s earlier as well as its later training, and for both parents the demand for careful and thorough preparation is most urgent.
Before taking upon themselves the possibilities of fatherhood and motherhood, men and women should become acquainted with the laws of physical development—with physiology and hygiene, with
the bearing of prenatal influences, with the laws of heredity, sanitation, dress, exercise, and the treatment of disease; they should also understand the laws of mental development and moral training.

Why?
The principles of temperance must be carried further than the mere use of spirituous liquors.
The use of stimulating and indigestible food is often equally injurious to health, and in many cases sows the seeds of drunkenness.
True temperance teaches us to dispense entirely with everything hurtful and to use judiciously that which is healthful.
There are few who realize as they should how much their habits of diet have to do with their health, their character, their usefulness in this world, and their eternal destiny.
The appetite should ever be in subjection to the moral and intellectual powers.
The body should be servant to the mind, and not the mind to the body.

Many of the incidents in the life of Samson centered about his relations with women.
Though strong physically, he was weak in moral power and self-control.
Early contact with idolaters had broken down the citadel of his soul.
