Acts 1:23-26 (NLT)

[23]So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. [24]Then they all prayed for the right man to be chosen. "O Lord," they said, "you know every heart. Show us which of these men you have chosen [25]as an apostle to replace Judas the traitor in this ministry, for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs." [26]Then they cast lots, and in this way Matthias was chosen and became an apostle with the other eleven.

How could we apply this to our daily lives? If only we could learn from the Word of God...

Luke 9:50 -- 'Anyone who is not against you is for you.'

Luke 11:23 -- 'Anyone who is not with me is against me.'

Mark 9:40 -- 'Anyone who is not against us is for us.'

Amen to that, Brother!
