"A good man obtains favor from the Lord, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn." (Proverbs 12:2 NKJV)
He makes us aware that a man whose heart is set upon the Lord in faith always comes upon His throne of grace to obtain favor. And, he gets it! He is a man who knows that his faithful God always grant His favors to those who rely only in Him. He is a good man, not of what he has done but of what The Lord Jesus whom he trusts has done for him. His heart's desire is to glorify His Lord, not as the wicked whose intention is to satisfy the desires of his flesh. Wrong motives tilt the spout of blessings away from a corrupt vessel. Scripture says: "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:3 NIV)
But, for those who ask in the right posture, He surrounds him with abundant blessings, as the psalmist declared - "For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with you]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor). (Psalm 5:12 AMP)
And I say, AMEN!
