Men ought to pray

Num 9:8 And Moses said to them, "Stand still, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you."

Men are stewards of the family. The responsibility of the family is on his shoulder. Moses bore the burden of the children of Israel. It bothered him in the verse above that the men could not participate in Passover. The feast was important one just as Holy Communion is important for every believer.

Moses could have easily opted to "sleep over the issue" or "research the matter" or discuss it further with his co workers or used other humanly possible means to determine what these men should do. But Moses did not do that. Instead he INQUIRED of the Lord.

I think that is important.

Men are faced with many challenges while leading family. The best he can do is bring them before Him and "inquire of the Lord." This is the blessing of being in a prayer meeting just to lift up the challenges we are facing.
