PROVERB CONSIDERED: “À-fi-ọ̀rọ̀-wé-ọ̀rọ̀ ò jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ tán bọ̀rọ̀.”
INTERPRETATION: "Allowing-a-current-matter-to-remind-one-of-similar-matters-in-the-past prevents a quarrel from ending easily."
MEANING & BIBLICAL APPLICATION: Have you ever met someone who ALWAYS recalls your past mistakes in light of your present ones? How does that make you feel? That's exactly what this proverb is asking us to guard against. Let's be like our heavenly father who takes away our sins as far as the east is from the west, in spite of His ultimate knowledge of how many more times we will repeat the same mistakes. That's how the psalmist imagined the Fatherhood of God in Psalm 103. Read verses 12 to 14 for yourself below.
Scriptures Cited include:
✥ Psalm 103:12-14 VOICE
12 You see, God takes all our crimes—our seemingly inexhaustible sins—and removes them. As far as east is from the west, He removes them from us.
13 An earthly father expresses love for his children; it is no different with our heavenly Father;
The Eternal shows His love for those who revere Him.
14 For He knows what we are made of; He knows our frame is frail, and He remembers we came from dust.
