We are living in unprecedented times. We are adjusting to the impact of various challenges and problems in our society. A global pandemic, affordable health care, immigration, gun violence and the reality of racism, to name a few.

1 Chronicles 12:32, says to us, "And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had an understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do..."Knowing what to do always give a person confidence. Not knowing what to do can leave a person anxious and uncertain.

The word understanding that we read in our text means "to have insight or to act with prudence, providing practical, wise, responses." The Sons of Issachar had analyzed their times and had perceived correctly what those times were all about. They knew what to do because they understood what was happening.

As God Thinkers, analyzing a matter through the lenses of God's Word, we are granted insight and the ability to act with prudence by virtue of God's character and ability as "sons and daughters of Issachar."  Operating, living, and leading in the principles and precepts of this teaching, God gives us the insight to understand the times, knowing what to do.
