Text: Acts 1:15-26.  In this story, Peter and the fledging community of Jesus’ followers needed to replace the disgrace Judas to ensure that the twelve apostles are able to sustain that number.  Twelve is significant in that Jesus’ mission was to the lost house of Israel.  The twelve disciples correspond to the twelve tribal units of Israel.  The group did two things to discern God’s will: Pray and Cast Lots.  The choice was Matthias, who is never heard from again.  While this text should not be used to advocate using dice for ecclesiastical decision making, combining prayer and casting of lots at least suggests that we exercise considerable humility when discerning God’s will.  Sometimes, knowing God’s will is maddeningly elusive.
