What if the lot falls on me?

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

Matthias, whose day it is today, was the Apostle chosen to replace Judas. “Apostle” means “one who is sent”.  We know nothing about Matthias.  We do know, though … Apostles serve humbly, endure trials, speak boldly about God’s ways, and are self-sufficient and generous. The ones we might think are the most obvious choices to become apostles may not be God’s choices. David was just a boy when he was anointed to be King. Don’t expect that God will pick someone else just because you’re not the obvious choice.  Matthias and David were probably surprised, too, but they said “Yes!”
