“Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.” 1 Samuel 2:3
It is impossible to deceive God because He knows ALL things, including the thoughts of your heart and the motives behind your actions.
In 1 Samuel 15:13-15 for example, King Saul told Samuel that he had already obeyed God’s commandments as regards the Amalekites. However, Samuel heard the noise of animals.
The king then lied that they were for sacrifice to God. Why would anyone try to deceive God?
In the first place, he should have asked himself if oxen sounded differently for the Prophet to know which is from Amalek and which is not.
He should have known that Samuel was acting based on divine knowledge. You can’t hide anything from God!
Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and never got a chance to repent Acts 5:1-11.
Is there any area where you have been trying to deceive God? Repent now.
Father, please help me to be truthful at all times, knowing fully well that you know all things IJN.
Shalom!
