C. Measures to Avoid There are some measures used to seek guidance that are not to be followed by Christians today 1. Chance (Casting Lots) In Old Testament times, believers sometimes sought the guidance of God by casting lots (Leviticus 16:7-10). Casting lots was somewhat like flipping a coin or drawing straws today. There is one reference in the New Testament to casting lots (Acts 1:26). As explained on page 40 of the link http://freebiblecollege.com/ casting of lots was not used after the Holy Spirit indwelled all believers. God wants us to follow him, not to follow chance.
