Duped

Do you feel anger or disgust when you hear of an employee who does not do his part in a project, but when the boss comes around he gets all the credit? Can you relate to the student who feels livid when a member of their study group never showed up to meetings or lifted a hand to help receives the top grade along with the rest of the group? Do you find yourself uncomfortable at the thought of someone taken advantage of another? Have you ever felt someone was being duped by another person and you could not do anything about it?

God is never fooled, manipulated or duped by anyone who professes to follow him but does not (Romans 11:33-36). He knows the heart of every person(Acts 15:8; John 2:23-25). He knows them better than they know themselves( Psalm 139:1-4). He is just to send a delusion to those who are purposely disobedient and take pleasure in their sin (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
