This past Sunday, we continued our teaching series through the Book of Acts, exploring the strange process by which the apostles selected a successor for Judas Iscariot, Jesus's betrayer. In this passage, we read that Peter believes that the replacement of Judas fulfills Old Testament prophecy, which is why it is so odd that the disciples resort to using such a seemingly random process as “casting lots” to make the decision. This tension reminds us that while God’s plan is intricate and complex, his faithfulness is simple and true. And no matter what we are walking through or are uncertain about, we can count on the faithfulness of God in the grandest plans and the most minor details.
