Topic: SURVIVING THE HARSH TIMES

Anchor Scripture: "The children of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel should do." - 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV).

The story of the children of Issachar happened during a tough time in Israel. After King Saul's death, David was in hiding, and everyone was confused about what to do—except for the tribe of Issachar.

It’s vital to know how to respond to our current situation. What made the Issachar tribe special was their understanding of when to act. Throughout history, we've had various eras, each with its own challenges.
