February 26 The Intuition of Issachar 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 One of the more popular passages in 1 Chronicles is found in chapter 12. The sons of Issachar are there described as men who "had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." What a description of the Law of Intuition! Before Israel made a decision, they got discernment. The sons of Issachar understood three key factors: 1. The culture: They understood the population and the place where they lived. 2. The timing: They understood the times and discerned when to move. 3. The strategy: They knew what Israel ought to do, the steps that should be taken. How about you? Are you a "son of Issachar"? Do you understand your culture-its trends, its myths, its strengths, its dangers? Do you understand the age in which you're living-its tenor and general movement? And do you have a strategy to grapple with both the culture and the times? The Maxwell Leadership Bible
