Inner Wealth Beyond Riches
Ecclesiastes 5:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 5:14 says that riches perish through hard toil, and even when a son is born, there is nothing lasting in hand.
Neville's Inner Vision
To see the verse with the eyes of the I AM is to notice that wealth, when sought outside, decays as soon as you stop paying attention. The 'evil travail' is not the toil itself but the belief that life is measured by the gold you amass or the offspring you beget. The moment you identify with a mind that is lacking, your asset is fear and scarcity, and you are left with nothing in your hand. Yet the kingdom you seek is not a pile but a state of consciousness—the awareness that you are the source and the sustainer of all riches. When you cease chasing outward signs and return to the inner I AM, you rediscover that abundance was never outside you, only unknown within. The man who believes his wealth defines him finds his hand empty; the wise man who trusts the one life within discovers an unending stream that cannot perish. So, claim that you are the wealth, the provider, and the heir to all abundance, here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are the source of abundance; revise the belief that riches come from outside; feel the inner wealth as real now.
