And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
(Acts 1.26 NRSV)
So, were the disciples right to cast lots to choose their twelfth comrade? We can say this: they were right to go ahead and make a decision, whatever the method. The life of faith is a life of action. And the life of faith is a life of trust that the God we worship will not allow us to make a decision that is unredeemable.

So, how should we make those important decisions, like who to marry and should we take that new job, etc. First pray. Then weigh the various options. Then act. Make the decision and move forward trusting that the God who loves you will be with you.

Dear God, help me to make wise decisions, so that I may fulfill the will you have for my life. Amen.
