Am I open to my lot?

Morning: Psalm 80; I Samuel 16:1-13; I John 2:18-25

Evening: Psalm 33; I Samuel 12:1-5; Acts 20:17-35

When they chose a replacement for Judas, they did not ask whether he wanted the job! They ‘cast lots’, which seems random, but trusted the Spirit to help. When the lot fell on Matthias, they probably informed him that he was the one, and he agreed! What do you think about being open to taking on a task that you do not necessarily want but for which others believe you are well suited? The story of Matthias, whose Day it is today, begs the question for me: Will I be open when ‘the lot’ falls on me?
