Neville Goddard on Matthew 6:25-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 6 in context

Scripture Focus

25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:25-34

Biblical Context

Jesus teaches not to worry about daily needs like food, drink, or clothing. He urges seekers to seek the kingdom first, trusting that God supplies all things.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM lens, this passage reveals that life is not a ledger of meals and raiment but a steady movement of consciousness. Your life is the activating awareness, and the birds and lilies symbolize states of readiness in your mind, not separate creatures performing miracles for you. When you acknowledge that you are more than the body and its needs, you dissolve the habit of lack and awaken to the power of the inner kingdom. The command to take no thought asks you to abandon prevailing thoughts of insufficiency and rest in the truth that your awareness can clothe any situation. Your heavenly Father knows your needs, so the question becomes: do you know you are the source of all wants met? Seek first the kingdom within—your right to be and your right to abundance—and the outer world will align as an echo of that inner faith, appearing without effort as you maintain the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and repeat, 'I AM the I AM; the kingdom of God is my present reality,' until you feel it as fact. Then revise one lack by fully feeling you already possess it, letting that feeling soften into your day.
