Little Johnny’s teacher asked him to stay after class. She looked at him and said, “Johnny, I know that you cheated off Suzie on yesterday test, if you confess I will go easier on you.” Johnny snapped back to the teacher, “What makes you think I cheated!” She remarked, “Well, one of the first questions was who was the first president of the United States, Suzie put George Washington and so did you.” Johnny replied, “Well that’s an easy one, everyone knows that!” “But on the second question,” she continued, “What president freed the slaves, Suzie put Abe Lincoln and so did you.” “Well so what?” Johnny piped, “Lots of people called him Abe!” The teacher sighed and said, “Yes, but on the third answer “What president was also a chief justice of the Supreme Court, Suzie wrote, “I don’t know” and you put “me either.”
Lots of folks are like Johnny when they are caught in error, refuse to admit what they have done. God, like Johnny’s teacher, is never fooled. Hebrews 4:13 tells us “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” No one will ever be able to “put one over” on God, and only the fool would try.
