OUR FATHER GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE

Proverbs chapter 14 verse 9 says this;

Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.

This proverb contrasts the conduct of fools with the conduct of the righteous in regards to the making of amends for sin.

In the company of fools, any contrition for sin and  attempts to make restitution are met with derision and mockery.

On the other hand, among the righteous, repentance for sin and making amends are welcomed and received warmly.

The righteous follow the example set by the Lord as described in Psalm chapter 51 verse 17 which says;

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.

Amen.
