The tree of life is the result of the fruit of righteousness. It is the tree that would have been granted to our forefathers had they exercised godly patience. The tree of life means discernment and the ability to act and direct the economy of your own home. Economy means the managing of your own house, so Solomon uses this image in Proverbs 11:30, which is connected to verse 29. The tree of life is the language for those who reach some level of maturity in their walk, and thus is able to use his money wisely with the covenantal vision of passing on his inheritance to his children.
