Ecclesiastes 10:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Blessing comes to the land when its inner ruler is noble and its nourishment is timely, not given to excess. The passage invites us to see governance and sustenance as inner states shaping outward life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your life is a land, and the I AM within you is its sovereign. When the king is the son of nobles—born of noble qualities, trained by disciplined attention—the land flourishes. Eat in due season means you feed the king with thoughts, images, and feelings that strengthen, not with the cheap intoxication of impulse. Drunkenness is the mind chasing after fleeting pleasures; strength comes when you deliberately nourish it with aligned beliefs, steady wakefulness, and a vision of rightful order. If you catch yourself slipping into excess, simply revise: I am the ruler here; I call forth the noble appetite and the timely sustenance that sustains power. In this view, the outer world mirrors the inner governance, because reality is the creative act of consciousness. God—the I AM you are and I am—does not judge from without; it awakens within as your own being. By repeatedly assuming the king sits securely on his throne, and by feeding him with nobility, you create a blessed land where strength flows, justice follows, and daily life aligns with the noble lineage you have already chosen in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, declare 'I AM the noble king of this land,' picture a throne in your chest, and imagine the rulers dining on disciplined thought at the right time; feel a surge of strength as you breathe.
