On practically any given day of the week we can either watch, listen to, or read about (depending on your media source) various individuals or groups doing their best to hide, suppress, and even obscure the truth concerning various topics.
Hiding the truth, one might say, has reached the point where it has almost become too easy; and even commonplace. After all, it's not that difficult to hide things from one another. Let's be truthful. We have all seen proof of this, both, in our own lives and that of others.
But, it's another thing altogether if we think we can hide things from God. This is truly something to consider the next time any of us makes an attempt at dissembling the truth. None of us can escape the notice of God. Any insincerity, hypocrisy, or unbelief will be uncovered and exposed (2 Timothy 2:15).
Here's the thing, whereas we may be able to throw others off the track with smooth talk and slick showmanship, God doesn't fall for cheap attempts to deceive him. He can see right into our hearts, where our true feelings lie. You will NEVER be able to mislead God!

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. No matter which way you look at it, there is no way to escape from having the truth extracted by God. He wields the mighty sword of truth that can pierce deep into our hearts where our true feelings are.
You have probably heard it said that the truth hurts. As it pertains to our relationship with God, it really does. God only deals in truth, he cannot lie (Numbers 23:19). Sadly, by trying to stifle the truth, we not only hurt ourselves and others, but we hurt God, too (Genesis 6:6).
Scripture: John 14:6; Proverbs 12:22; Psalm 119:160; Psalm 86:11; Ephesians 4:25
Prayer: Dear God, you love truthfulness in the inward being, I pray that You will teach me wisdom in the secret heart, amen.
Joyfully in Christ,
