Inner Wealth for Divine Work
Nehemiah 7:70 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Some of the chief of the fathers gave to the work; the Tirshatha donated gold, basins, and priests' garments to the treasure.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the verse as a map of your inner kingdom. The Tirshatha, the governor of the I AM within, steps forward and pours wealth into the work of your soul. The gold stands for your radiant values; the basins for clear, untroubled thoughts; the priests' garments for the sacred ways you clothe yourself in service to the divine within. When you read these offerings as inner movements rather than external gifts, you see true worship as the budgeting and deliberate allocation of life to what you esteem most. The act of giving is not charity to an outside temple, but a voluntary alignment of consciousness with its own source. The Tirshatha's generosity reveals a readiness to fund inner discipline, devotion, and structure. Remember, the abundance is not outside you but the I AM that is always complete; as you dwell in that awareness, wealth flows into the temple of your mind where it can mature into action, service, and beauty. Your inner treasury grows when you treat consciousness as a sanctuary under construction, and every donation is a manifestation of the self in harmony with its divine work.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the Tirshatha in your life now; imagine placing gold, vessels, and garments into your inner temple’s treasury and feel the I AM funding the work. Revise any lack by affirming, I am abundantly provided for the temple I serve.
