In his own words on Colossians
- Colossians 1:12
Moreover in writing to the Thessalonians he says: "Giving thanks to God the Father, who has made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light." Since we read that many things in the Old and New Testaments were divided by lots, none has dared to deny that the lot has been God's way of manifesting what devoted hearts sought with prayerful petition.
