Job 33:15. There are many reasons why God, our Creator, has created us with a need for sleep. One of the reasons is it is an undisturbed time for God to give us instruction and insight. During the day we are bombarded by all types of stimuli from our five senses. When we sleep, we are in a spiritual state that is completely separated from the natural world.

Job 33:30. What is prophecy and the purpose of prophecy?

Job 36:11. God created us for a purpose and He desires for us to obey Him and fulfill that purpose. That is the secret to true success. If we obey God, we will prosper. God desires for us to be successful. He wants to bless us. He desires for us to enjoy life (Job 36:11, “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures”).

Job 27:8. Another aspect of the definition of deception is that it is only temporary. A deception is only a deception until it is found out. It is temporary. On the other hand, truth is eternal. Many of us use deception to fool others as well as ourselves. Most of us put our hope in material things such as money, other people, or our own abilities.

Job 13:4. The definition of deception includes manufacturing in the eyes of someone that something is of value when it has no value.
