September 18, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 24

Casting lots seems to be a great way to pick who does what. I don’t know if we use that enough. The only time we do it now, it seems, is to pick who gives who a gift at Christmas for the gift exchange. Other than that, we just don’t pick names out of a hat or cast lots. Is there any other way that you can do something like this and not put your total trust in God. You wonder how your day would go if at every decision, you would put your options in a hat, draw out one, and commit to doing that. What to wear, what to eat, which road to drive, all chosen by God through the casting of lots. How scary that might seem at first but how refreshing that could be when you realize there is no pressure on you. The only thing you have to do is trust in the decision and commit to doing it. No worrying about which one, no second guessing afterwards, just complete trust and action. That is what God wants. You wonder if that is why “casting lots” seems to be used so much in the Bible. God is telling us that we need to trust in Him in our every decision.
