God has a perfect plan. We can be like the Sadducees and close our minds to his revelation, or we can try to be like little children, eager to learn from our heavenly Father. He won’t lead us astray. If he moves our lives or the church in a direction we don’t fully understand, we can try to listen to him humbly, do our best to follow his lead, and trust that he will never let his people down.
God wants us to be ready to step out of our comfort zones when the situation calls for it. For the Sadducees, this meant accepting the possibility that God will raise the dead. For us, it may mean accepting a new priest in our parish, welcoming an unexpected pregnancy, or striking out in a new direction in our career. The possibilities are endless. The only thing constant is that God will be with us, no matter what, to guide us and teach us.
“Father, I surrender to your wisdom and your plan. Help me stay open-minded and soft-hearted.”
