Proverbs 16:33
Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
One member of The Society of Evangelical Arminians explains: “Gideon putting the fleece out is an example of this, since he did follow through with God’s directions to cut down the size of the Army that assembled to him. In fact, the reason why he reversed the phenomena he prayed for, was due to poor protocol design: he had no idea what a fleece would normally do to reliably detect when God reversed the normal order of things, but he did know that the normal order of things don’t reverse themselves on their own. God cooperated with Gideon because He saw Gideon’s commitment to following through on his vow, and just wanted to make sure that he did not misread God.” (SEA)
