The key here is unwittingly. No one wakes up and plans to follow Satan. However, what is the first thing I do when I wake up? What is my first thought? Just todayI was awake before the alarm went off at 5. My husband and I spoke a few minutes about the plans of the day then I was up to .....plan dinner, start laundry, check e-mails and now an hour later I'm reading His word. Although productive, was I unwittingly following Satan? Then there are the projects others have asked me to do. I have so many and I wonder is it because of my talent or because of my low prices? Just thinking in this negative ,manner....am I unwittingly following Satan? In a few hours I'm picking up a few preteens along with my granddaughter and heading to create cookie bags for the local homeless shelter. Sounds noble right? However, I'm leaving behind my quadriplegic daughter who basically lives her life in isolation....am I unwittingly following Satan? Let's face it, Satan is slick. I pray my day unfolds to reveal the pleasures from God. Darlene

I think of things I've created, for specific purposes. Other's may try to copy my idea but it was my creation and nothing can change that. I am the same to Him....I am His creation so every use of me goes right back to complete His purpose....His ways are better. The implication is clear....am I allowing the "use of me" to be aligned with God's purpose? Am I ignoring some aspect of my intended purpose which is evident in my lack of peace.
