The benefits of wisdom we will consider today are prosperity and longevity. According to our reference scripture, wisdom has length of days in its right hand, then riches and honor on the left. Those sound like things anyone would like to have, don’t they?
Firstfruit, as the name suggests, refers to the first set of produce that a farmer harvests from his or her farm. Just like the firstborn of humans and animals, God also requires that the firstfruits of the grounds be offered to Him as well.
The benefit of wisdom we shall consider today is happiness. Wisdom makes one happy, as attested by our reference Bible passage today.
