Inner Timing of Beauty
Ecclesiastes 3:11-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 3:11-15 speaks of God making all things beautiful in their time, placing the world in the heart so we cannot trace the whole plan, while inviting joy, simple enjoyment, and reverent awe before the divine order. It also asserts that what God does endures, and that past and future are folded into a present we can choose by imagination.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ecclesiastes, these lines reveal the inner law of consciousness. God makes every thing beautiful in its time when I consent to the rhythm already set in my I AM. The phrase 'he hath set the world in their heart' points to the stage of imagination where the entire pattern of events resides as a seed awaiting the right moment to bloom. My work is not struggle but alignment: rejoice, do good, eat, drink, and enjoy the fruit of labor as the gift of God, for these are the natural consequences of living in harmony with the inner decree. 'Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever' is the assurance that the reality I awaken within never leaves the realm of eternity; it endures beyond momentary mood. The final lines—'That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past'—tell me that memories of lack are reset by the present imagination, and the past serves as fuel for a richer present. Thus the I AM, smiling through my awareness, reorders my days into gratitude, ease, and reverent awe.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the day is already arranged as beautiful by the I AM. When doubts arise, revise them with 'What God doeth is forever' and feel the joy as real in the present.
