Proverbs 3:10

"Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;"

Key Reflection

This verse encourages believers to honor God by recognizing Him as the source of their material blessings and prosperity. By offering the first fruits of their harvest or earnings, they acknowledge God's provision and express gratitude through tangible acts of worship.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Compare the marginal reference. This fullness of outward blessings does not exclude the thought of the “chastening”Proverbs 3:11, without which the discipline of life would be incomplete. “Presses” are the vats of a Roman vineyard, into which the wine flowed through pipe from the wine-press.
