1 Chronicles 24:1-18

The division and arrangement begins very properly in the house of Aaron; for Aaron himself was called of God. Hebrews 5:4. And it was worthy observation that the appointment of this man's family to the offices assigned them, was done by lot. The apostles of Jesus did the same in filling up the vacancy of the traitor Judas. This was done by lot, accompanied with earnest prayer that the Lord's choice, and not man's, might be known and attended to. If this were made the plan now, instead of human caprice, fancy, interest, and humour, would it not be more scriptural, and more likely to produce blessings? Acts 1:24.
