Neville Goddard on Luke 12:24-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 12 in context

Scripture Focus

24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Luke 12:24-27

Biblical Context

Jesus teaches not to worry about daily needs, pointing to ravens and lilies as signs of God’s care; anxiety cannot add a single cubit, and true growth comes from trusting the inner provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are the I AM that thinks, 'I will provide for you.' In Luke 12, the ravens and lilies reveal a state of consciousness where no external effort can add to your being. The day you insist, 'I am cared for; I am fed by the living Presence now,' you stop sowing or spinning for yourself and begin to rest as the one who is already provided for. The question 'which of you by taking thought can add a cubit?' is not a renunciation of action but a correction of imagined limitation. Worry is belief in a separation between your self and the Source. When you realize that Solomon's glory pales beside the lilies' quiet, effortless growth, you acknowledge your own divine order—an inner arrangement in which all needs are met by the ever-present I AM. You are not lacking; you are the living expression of God, imagining abundance into form.

Practice This Now

Assume and revise: 'I am cared for by God now.' For the next 24 hours, whenever a worried thought arises, repeat 'I AM' and feel the Presence supplying every need; visualize ravens and lilies as your inner symbols of provision and rest into that feeling.
