The Daily Sentence

Sortition, or the casting of lots, (we are told this is not a game of chance, not gambling, and certainly not divination; and if it is divination, it is inspirational divination as opposed to the artificial divination of the Norse, Greeks and Romans—whom God must then destine not; at least not by Runes, Dice, or oracles—no wait, do not include oracles—just maybe it all lays with whom you invoke before you divine, or in other words what name you invoke before you seek the Golden Path by means of random chance; which was always an outcome destined as not probable but, seeing as God is prescient, an outcome that is by necessity, to borrow from Luther) chose Matthias as Judas' replacement; and I would like to point out Jacob's cup, named by Jacob's servant as Jacob's divining cup, which was not, historians tell us, an uncommon magical artifact to find Hebrews with in Jacob's time. -Aaron DeWeese
