Last night, I was instructing the Jr. High group, a collection of 35+ kids, the story of Abraham. I had only a few expectations. Namely that I wanted them to know that it is not just enough to believe and love God, we must answer his call. God will send us challenges and tests, and we have the opportunity to show God that we will respond appropriately to his call.
Easy topic to talk about, difficult to practice. As Yogi Beara once said, "In theory there is no difference in theory and practice. In practice there is."
This morning I was wondering about how to proceed on an issue at hand. I heard the answer in the daily readings. Now the real question is, do I respond to God's call? If yes, then to what extent. Do I go all the way as Abraham would, or do I follow along as Judas did until the betrayal?
