Inner Joy of Righteous Hope

Proverbs 10:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 10 in context

Scripture Focus

28The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
Proverbs 10:28

Biblical Context

The verse contrasts the gladness that comes from the righteous' hopeful posture with the perishability of the wicked's expectations, inviting a shift in inner belief as the source of outward joy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this line as a map of inner states. The 'hope of the righteous' is not a hopeful wish tossed into the future, but a steadfast mood of consciousness rooted in the I AM. When you accept that you are awareness, your inner world glows with a settled joy; this gladness accompanies every turn of events because your imagining aligns with your divine nature. The 'expectation of the wicked' is merely a mind clinging to lack and prediction; its breath collapses because it denies the I AM here now. The law is always working: your inner state becomes your outer scene. So choose to dwell in the righteousness that is your true state, and the external world will mirror the calm certainty you cultivate. If fear arises, revise it in imagination by affirming that the present is sufficient, that your good is already completed in consciousness. Let your hope be not a wish but a present fact established by your awareness, and watch as what you expect to happen occurs within your inner imagination, and then manifests outwardly.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, declare I am the I AM and feel the gladness of the righteous as already yours; then revise a single anxious expectation by turning it into a present-tense scene of joy.
