THE TURN OF TIMES AND SEASONS. (PART 6).

DECEMBER 17^TH.
TEXT: 1 Chronicles 12:31-33King James Version (KJV)

³¹ And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

³² And of 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 commandment.

³³ Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.

 

If there is anytime we need to be sensitive in our world, that would be now. Too much is happening with little or no notice these days and we cannot afford to be careless. We are living in a time of darkness and it seem as though the darkness is gaining more ground and acceptance like never before. It is now much more convenient to sin than ever before. ]

 

Things that use to be abomination are gradually becoming a norm and not many are bold anymore to even speak against them. But if we understand the time that we are living and the God we serve, we would not be timid to stand for the truth.

In this very strategic moment in the history of Israel as found in our text for today, the role of people with understanding of the time and seasons can never be over emphasized. David had strong need of those who can discern the times. This is the major difference between those who record consistent success and victory and those who continually fail to succeed in life. The way things are turning out in our present fast changing world, you need divine guidance to know what to do so you don't end up in the wrong place with the wrong set of people or dying before your time. Please be sensitive to the leading of God like never before. Shalom.
