Proverbs 11:20 NKJV

[20] Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight.

I have been around people who you just knew were up to no good. I can't explain it, but I could tell. My mom had a saying that her spirit didn't bear witness with them. As someone who used to be that guy, I have to admit that growing closer to the Lord has helped hone my discernment.

How much more must God know than me? He examines our hearts and knows our intentions completely. We don't get to hide behind a deceitful smile with Him. I don't want to have to keep things hidden, so I am quick to tell on myself with God and my accountability partners. I know He sees my struggles, but He knows (and honors) my efforts to grow closer to Him.
