Men of Issachar
In scripture we sometimes find nuggets in the midst of lists of names. Such a gem was bought to my attention a couple of days ago. Amongst a list of the warriors who served King David is this verse: "And the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do' the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command." I Chronicles 12:32
My good friend shared this passage from the Bible with me. His comment, "What is different about these men of David is, unlike any of the elite warriors they were part of, these men had insight into how Israel should function in light of the times they found themselves in. Today we need Christians who live in the same understanding manner. Not reacting but wise."
I quite agree.
