Inner Words of Wisdom

Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 12 in context

Scripture Focus

9And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ecclesiastes 12:9-11

Biblical Context

Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 speaks of the preacher who teaches knowledge, arranges proverbs, and writes honest truths. The words of the wise are like goads and nails, set by the shepherd of all, guiding the community toward truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you lies the preacher—the awake I AM—carefully gathering knowledge and shaping words that awaken life. The proverbs you set in order are the affirmations you choose to anchor your being; the seeking of acceptable words is the choosing of thoughts that are upright and true. The words of the wise act as goads, prodding you out of habitual sleep, and as nails, fixing truths fastened by the one Shepherd inside—your singular consciousness that governs experience. When you regard these words as actively writing your life, you place yourself under the inner shepherd's governance, and your world becomes the orderly expression of inner truths. Remember that all teaching and all verses originate from one Source; your task is to feel that authority as present reality here and now, not as distant guidance.

Practice This Now

Assume the role of the wise preacher within: revise a current worry by restating it as upright truth and feel it real, guided by the one Shepherd inside.
