The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
The casting of the lot is an act in which the lot is thrown, yet its entire disposing belongs to the Lord. That truth does not make tossing a coin or following any other chance outcome a safe way to learn God's will. No such result should be set up as a test for settling decisions. This applies to practical choices such as whether to buy property.
