Omniscience

I heard something really interesting in my WIL group (fancy name for bible study) today. 

Satan is an angel and angels don't know everything.
1 Peter 1:11-12

Basically, it is biblical that Satan in not omniscient, therefore cannot be aware of our desires until we physically speak them. 

Doesn't this bring about a new meaning to the verse warning us to be slow to speak? 
This could also be similarly related to our insecurities. 
If we stop speaking about them we will eliminate the opportunity for Satan to let his lies attack our weaknesses.
 He does not know of the things we do not speak. 
Pondering that one shook me up a little tonight, in a good and powerful way. 
So many times I thank the Lord for knowing the sincerity and depth of my heart 
because so often my mouth can't locate the words to express it.
God is omniscient.
He knows all.

By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before Him;
for whenever our heart condemns us,
God is greater than our heart,
and He knows everything.
1 John 3:19-20

And no creature is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:13

Even before a word if on my tongue,
behold, O Lord,
you know it altogether.
Psalm 139:4

I encourage you to ponder this and to realize how God can use this in your life as you learn more self-control as you are slow to speak for the good of your soul. I also encourage each of you to go and 
read 
1 Peter 1, all of it.
See what speaks to you.
