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 accepted that kind of deception as part of a legitimate military operation designed to thwart oppressive forces. What should we not accept is the deception Satan throws our way. Paul explained that the devil "transform 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 Each day amid life's noisy throng We're bound to hear this world's case, And if we're not alert to wrong, The Savior's name we may disgrace. -D.
