Give God Your Prime
Commentators note the Levites served from age 30 to 50, the prime of their physical strength. This wasn't just a practical matter; it's a spiritual principle. As Matthew Henry points out, God's service deserves our best years and our fullest energy. This challenges the idea of delaying spiritual commitment until old age, urging believers to honor God with the best portion of their lives.
