The Sons of Issachar
Charlie Steinmetz was a dwarf with a deformed body.
However, he possessed one of the greatest minds in the specialty of electricity the world has ever known.
He built the generators for Henry Ford’s first auto plant.
One day, those generators broke down, and production came to a halt.
A few mechanics and technicians worked effortlessly, but could not solve the problem.
Every hour the plant was down meant a large loss of money.
Finally, Ford called Steinmetz back to the plant.
The genius came in, tinkered around for a few hours, threw the switch, and the plant returned to full operation.
A few days later, Henry Ford received a bill from Charlie for ten thousand dollars – a considerable sum of money in those days.
Although Ford was extremely wealthy by this time, he returned the bill with a note that said, “Charlie, isn’t this bill just a little high for a few hours of tinkering around with those motors?”
Steinmetz returned the bill, stating, “For tinkering around on the motors: $10; for knowing where to tinker, $9,990.
Total bill: $10,000.” Henry Ford paid the bill.
1 Chronicles 12:32 “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;”
2 things here: 1) They understood the times.
2) They knew what needed to be done.
I walked into the men’s restroom the other day and heard something that got my attention.
I knew water was running somewhere.
I couldn’t see it, but I could hear it.
I knew there was a problem.
I opened up the doors underneath the sink and I saw water coming out and I knew we needed to get that turned off, but I did not know how to fix the problem.
Handyman work is not my forte!
I did, however, know that I should talk to Mark, because he does have that skillset.
It’s important to discern the times, but if you don’t know what to do with that information, it really doesn’t help.
Understanding- know, notice, hear of, learn; reveal, be or become known; realize, perceive
Lot did not know when his daughters came in or left.
That word no is the same word we read about in regards to the sons of Issachar.
Yet here, Lot was spiritually asleep.
He was trying to drown out his sorrows and not feel his pain.
He was drunk and he was not vigilant to what the enemy was doing.
This twisted account of the sin of Lot’s daughters led to the creation of 2 satanic nations who would be a thorn in the flesh of Israel over and over.
The enemies of Israel were created by a failure to recognize what was going on.
A failure to discern what the enemy was doing.
How many enemies do we create ourselves, because of our bad choices?
How are some ways that the enemy distracts us from understanding the times in our lives and world and knowing what we should do about them?
