We just had
a Primary Election and the Republican race for sheriff had a 46-vote margin. For
the General Election there are no Democratic challengers, so barring a
last-minute challenge by an Independent candidate, the next man to become
sheriff will be the Republican who narrowly won the Primary Election. The
Apostles, feeling the need to fill the position vacated by Judas, cast lots for
his replacement. We don’t know the vote count and the margin by which Matthias
was selected over Joseph called Barsabbas but using spiritual standards the election/selection
for either man was inconsequential. Scripture never again mentions the practice
of casting lots, nor do we know anything more about Matthias, his mission, or
his effectiveness (Acts:1:23-26). We’ve
been taught that every vote counts; however, the old adage “man proposes and
God disposes” can be clearly seen in the election process.
