God knows what you need

I get a daily devotional from Our Daily Bread in email from everyday. It is supposed to be my guide for my devotion time with God. Well, most of the time, I get up when the girls get up and we get the day going...without going to God first. But this morning, I woke up early. 4:30am to be exact. I stayed in bed until JT had to get up for PT and then I got up, ate a bowl of cheerios. After he left, I grabbed my diet coke and headed back upstairs. I checked facebook and then my email. I saw the daily bread email and decided to open it. I am so glad I did! It was just what I needed to read this morning. Sometimes, in life we make decisions that we know are from God. Recently, I have been having doubt about these certain things and I know it is the devil trying to get to me. I will explain more at a later date.
But this is what I read...

Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. —2 Corinthians 11:14

In the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Europe, an armada of Allied ships assaulted the beaches of Normandy, France. Simultaneously, thousands of airplanes dropped paratroopers into the action. Along with the paratroopers, the Allies also dropped hundreds of rubber dummies behind the enemy lines. Called “Ruperts,” these dummies were intended to simulate an attack to confuse the enemy. As the Ruperts landed, some German outposts were tricked into fighting the “paradummies,” creating a vital crack in the walls of Fortress Europe.
We accept that kind of deception as part of a legitimate military operation designed to thwart oppressive forces. What we should not accept is the deception Satan throws our way. Paul explained that the devil “transforms himself into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14), and his servants appear to be people who are promoting righteousness (v.15).
We must be alert! Our spiritual enemy would love to have followers of Christ distracted by false teaching and faulty doctrine. But as we keep our eyes on Jesus and the clear teachings of Scripture, our Lord can keep us aimed in the right direction.

Don’t be tricked by Satan’s Ruperts. —Bill Crowder

I feel like these certain doubts are Satan's dummies trying to distract me from what I know God has called me to do. May we all be aware of the dummies Satan throws our way and be wise enough to go to God for cover.
