31 They also cast lots,just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites.
Am I reading this correctly, that they were casting lots to see what their responsibilities would be moving forward? Seems pretty arbitrary. They must have been counting on the fact that God would make it turn out how he wanted. I couldn't help but think of my grandparents church in rural Michigan, that saw any form of gambling as evil. Here, the people were doing it, and counting on the fact that God would be intricately involved. Nuts
I can't say I got a lot out of these two chapters. I would have liked to seen you try to use the casting lots argument on your grandparents, I'm guessing they aren't buying what your selling! lol
