This act of deciding on Judas' replacement may seem ominous. But this was simply another way of showing how they arrived at their decision after coming together & in prayer. It would be like us casting our vote for a political candidate - they cast their vote for one of two candidates, but the "lot" (the final count, which may well have been the full count) fell upon Matthias. So Matthias was to be accepted as a worthy & equal apostle as the other eleven.
