four rewards of God's wisdom

I walk in the way of righteousness,

in the paths of justice,

granting an inheritance to those who love me,

and filling their treasuries.

Proverbs 8:20-21

The value of wisdom brings strength, hope, success, and a kind of prospering from God's truth that is a unique blessing to those who will wisely follow the Lord. Wisdom is an abundant treasure.
