But the priests needed more help to skin all the burnt offerings. So their relatives, the Levites, helped them until the work was completed and the priests could make themselves holy. The Levites were more diligent in making themselves holy than the priests were. 2 Chron 29:34 (God's Word)
The priests (remember, as father or husband you are the priest of your home) needed the help of other family members to handle spiritual matters because their family was more diligent then they were! Ouch!
diligent adj. attentive, conscientious, devoted, ernest, passionate, sincere, steadfast, studious, untiring, zealous
Don't put your kids in the place of having to lead in spiritual matters. They should be working on their personal salvation, not everyone else's in the house, including yours. Don't make your wife be the one covering your home in prayer. She may be an awesome prayer warrior but YOU are the priest. Fight your way into God's presence and blessings and prepare the way for her to be free and even more effective in praying for your family and your needs!
