“….of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;…”_ – 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NKJV)
David’s army boasted tens of thousands, with many being experts in weaponry. Yet, among them, the mere two hundred sons of Issachar stood out, not for their might, but their discernment. Their profound understanding of the times placed them in a unique leadership position. In today’s volatile world, discernment is invaluable. Ephesians 5:15-17 urges us to walk wisely and understand God’s will.
True discernment is more than mere knowledge—it’s illumination. It guides our path, ensuring we make informed decisions, akin to the sons of Issachar. To truly thrive, one must comprehend both the times and God’s timeline.
Confession: I move forward with strength and the grace of God because I have a deep understanding of my identity. I discern God’s design, and I have the ability to be a guiding force for others.
