Toys Or Terrorists?

2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-14



For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.





Saved by the bell! That was this morning's nightmare. My alarm awakened me just as the doom began. I was relieved yet disappointed because I wanted to know the outcome. I definitely wanted to know why it happened.



It was a beautiful day. We were at what looked like a marina or some odd air base. There were little sub-stations planted everywhere encased by a small wall of glass. Inside was a chair and a panel of buttons. My youngest boy was in one and my husband was in another. I was out wandering about.



Suddenly, a slew of toy helicopters and airplanes came from nowhere in formation. They were flying about and I ran to get my son thinking he would love to see this. I scooped him up in my arms and walked toward a chair in the middle of the way about 500+ feet away. After capturing his attention with the planes I sat him on the chair to watch. I stepped back. I noticed that the airplanes and helicopters had a formation that each one kept to and it became very disturbing to me. They would fly around toward my son, stop, point their nose toward him as if he were a target, then fly off. I figured they were just practicing using him as target. They were just toys mind you. I didn't like it though. I scooped him up to get him out of targets way.



Just as I scooped my son up then came the real mcoys. Real airplanes came. I then thought it was an airshow. These airplanes were rather low. As they would round the bend where my son and I were they would then head behind us where my husband was, still in the sub-station. Then the worst happened. One airplane seemingly lost control. It did a nose dive right into the ground where my son had first been. My first thought was, "That is too close to my husband. The debris might clip him." Then all of a sudden one after the other each airplane began to nose dive. There were three before my alarm awakened me. The second one came even closer to my husband. The third, I believe, hit his sub-station.



Wow! What happened? It started as a harmless beautiful day. We were enjoying the view of harmless air toys. What a diversion! It was enough to catch us off guard before the attack came. That is totally Satan's tactic. He has never been one to drop in and say, "Hello, I am here to make your day miserable today. I am sending some of my friends to sway you the wrong way. Enjoy!"



We can make anything sound good. We can make anything sound right. We can make anything sound real. It only takes words and pictures. Only God's Word is truth. Only God's view is real. If we don't know it we will easily be decieved. We need to hide His Word in our hearts, meditate on it day and night, be ready to give an answer in season and out of season...these are all scriptures God has given. He values His Word because He knows the importance of it and the power behind it. We need to know it too. God Bless~
