Inner Riches of Contentment
1 Timothy 6:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Timothy 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Godliness with contentment is described as great gain. We bring nothing into the world and take nothing out, so having food and clothing is enough.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your true world is a state of consciousness, not a ledger of assets. The text calls godliness with contentment great gain, which means devotion joined to inner sufficiency. Since you brought nothing in and take nothing out, the measure of life is the quality of your inner feeling. The I AM—the awareness that you are—provides the next moment, the next garment, the next meal. When you dwell as that I AM and imagine abundance as present fact, the outer scene must align with your inner certainty. Practice begins with a simple assumption: I am content with what I have; I lack nothing. Let that revision sink into your bones until fear dissolves and gratitude remains. Detach from the craving for more by recognizing it as a reminder to deepen your inner discipline. This is the great gain: not more wealth, but a stabilized consciousness that knows I AM, here and now, supplying every need.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume, 'I am content with food and raiment; I lack nothing.' Feel the I AM already providing in the present moment, and let that feeling saturate your body until doubt fades.
