Nehemiah 2:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

18Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
Nehemiah 2:18

Biblical Context

Nehemiah 2:18 describes how the hand of God upon him and the king's words empower a people to rise up and begin building, strengthening their hands for the good work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this scene as a scripture of your inner life. The hand of God that is good upon me is not a distant miracle but the steady awareness that I am already supported by a larger I AM. The king's words spoken unto me are the divine decree of inner authority and inward command that I am seen, approved, and empowered to begin. When I hear both support and command I awaken a fresh unity among my faculties: vision, purpose, feeling, action. The people say let us rise up and build, and the inner state follows suit, aligning motive with means. Action becomes not a pushing of will but the natural outgrowth of the renewed state: the imagination becomes the blueprint, confidence becomes the hammer, perseverance the joints that hold the structure. The real building is the shift in consciousness from limitation to possibility; once the inner decree is accepted, the external circumstances respond by strengthening my hands -- the ability to work, to endure, to complete the project. This is how miracles materialize: by consenting to the inner hand and its royal declaration, then acting from that assured vision.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the feeling that the hand of God is upon you now and the king's words are spoken to you. Revise any doubt by declaring I rise up and build, and picture the completed work already present in your awareness.
