Quieting The Wealth Idol Within

Habakkuk 1:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 1 in context

Scripture Focus

16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Habakkuk 1:16

Biblical Context

Habakkuk 1:16 reveals how some worship wealth and the means of obtaining it—the net and the drag—treating their supply as coming from outside rather than from inner awareness. It invites us to examine where our own focus and sense of provision truly reside.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, Habakkuk’s sharp observation becomes a map of inner states. The 'net' and 'drag' are not fishing gear but habitual thoughts that bind the mind to scarcity and the belief that provision comes from external means. They burn incense to whatever serves their appetite for fat portions and plenty, symbolizing a worship of outward method rather than the I AM. In this interpretation, the verse asks us to stop worshiping effects and ask: who am I when abundance is sought? If I awaken to the truth that I am the I AM, prosperity arises as a present inner reality, not as a future payout. Make a simple revision: assume you are the source of all supply here and now, and feel the reality of that assumption until it becomes perception. When consciousness shifts, the phantom net dissolves, the drag loses its grip, and fullness manifests in form as the natural expression of inner truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the state 'I AM the source of all provision' and feel it now. Visualize the net dissolving and allow abundance to rise from within.
