This weekend in the NFL playoffs, one team or the other will get the advantage of having the first chance to score by the flip of a coin. Some games are so close it seems the coin flip may have made the difference. Is that fair? Maybe it doesn’t really matter—it’s just the NFL.

But what if it were one of your major life decisions? Would you choose where you would live by the flip of a coin. Would you choose your vocation or service in that way? Would you want to determine guilt or innocence in a capital offense by the casting lots—which is a lot like flipping a coin?!

Nehemiah 11:1-2 describe big decisions, and significant personal sacrifices in following God’s will. This Sunday we’ll talk about how to know God’s will and living in it.
