Proverbs 3:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:2
Length of days and peace are promised to those who keep God's wisdom. The Hebrew 'shalom' encompasses not merely absence of conflict but positive flourishing - health, prosperity, right relationships, spiritual wholeness. This verse teaches that obedience to divine wisdom produces qualitative and quantitative life enhancement. Reformed theology doesn't view this as prosperity gospel but recognizes God's general providence - godly living generally produces better outcomes than foolish living, though exceptions exist in our fallen world.
