Proverbs says a lot about the benefits of wisdom and what having wisdom will do for us. In the first nine chapters of Proverbs, there are at least ten benefits that I see.
1. Perception. Wisdom gives us an accurate perception of life.
2. Prevention. Wisdom will prevent us from engaging in self-destructive behavior.
3. Wisdom will prolong our life.
4. Peace. As we develop wisdom, we will enjoy a life of peace.
5. Prosperity.
6. Poise.
7. Protection. Wisdom will keep us safe.
8. Precision. Wisdom gives us the ability to take the right number of steps, in the right direction, at the right pace.
9. Prudence. It means "caution" or "discretion" or simply, "good sense."
10. Wisdom Pays!
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 9:10. We start on the path to wisdom by putting God first. The wisest thing we'll ever do is give God the place he deserves in our lives. When I say, "put God first", I mean specifically that we choose Jesus to be the Lord of our life. That is where the path to wisdom begins.
