Everyone knows to choose wisely. Some leaders are going nowhere. Others understand what's happening around them and know the best course to take.
Everyone recognizes this fact; only Jesus is infallible, so we've been advised to trust slowly, be cautious and look before we leap. We tend to trust those who've shown themselves to be trustworthy. We think, "Odds are ... they'll know what to do."
So get this: most of the people around you assume you - follower of Jesus and child of the King - you are the one who "understands what's happening and knows what to do." It's you friend. As you follow Jesus, people are looking to you. They're following you.
Do you know what to do next?
1 Chronicles 12:32 - There were from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.
It's funny how we aren't taught the difference between caution and fear. Caution encourages us to think twice before we act, fear just leaves us without action. We are taught from Joshua to 'be strong and very courageous,' but if we listen to the media and the world at large we are encouraged to just be quiet and take no positive action and therefor left exactly where we are weeks months and even years later and satan is laughing all the way when God's people live in fear rather than caution.
