"And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was added to the eleven apostles."(Acts 1:26)
How do you make a decision among two good choices? Flip a coin, roll dice, one potato two potato?
We make decisions all the time. Most of them more gut feeling than rational.
I like the idea of casting lots. There is not doubt that Justus probably would have been a fine choice too. But the lot fell on Matthias.
We of course also might pray about the choice and trust that God already has made the choice for us.
We can't control many decisions, and often there's a lot of politicking going on. But how much more simple would things be if we could bring back lots.
Blessings,
