We can't hide from God - can we hide from someone who has double the spirit of Elijah? There's a lot of quotes from The Chosen that I love, including, one that is paraphrased as: it doesn't take God's wisdom to know what Simon Peter is thinking. It seems that we don't have to be God or even Elijah/Elisha to find out the truth when someone tries to deceive us. Another way that I like to look at it is that I don't have the time nor memory to keep up with lies. It's just so much easier to be truthful in the first place.
