"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God's fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
Simplified meaning
Taking good care of your kids, teaching them good values, managing your home, and creating a loving, faith-based family environment is just as significant and holy as leading a group of soldiers in a grand, important mission. Imagine a mother or father who spends their days ensuring their children grow up loved, educated, and respectful. This daily effort is as valuable and meaningful as someone doing a visibly heroic act, like a soldier bravely fighting to protect their country. Both roles require dedication, love, and sacrifice. This means that even everyday tasks at home hold great importance and contribute to a bigger, spiritual purpose. Just as a leader on the battlefield makes a difference, so does a parent nurturing and guiding their family; it's a way of serving and honoring your faith.
