Diligence Builds Wealth Within
Proverbs 10:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says slack effort leads to poverty, while diligent effort produces wealth. It points to the mindset behind outcomes.
Neville's Inner Vision
Truth is, wealth is the state you inhabit, not a coin you chase. The 'slack hand' is a mental drift—the belief that you are not the author of your outcomes, that provision is distant, that effort is burdensome. The 'hand of the diligent' is the ongoing act of choosing with awareness, of tending your tasks as a sacred practice. When you dwell in the I AM as abundance—the quiet conviction that you already possess the capacity to fulfill your purpose—the external world begins to move in harmony with that inner rhythm. The shift is not from without to within, but from within to without: you revise your sense of yourself, you feel the end in mind, and you begin to act as one who keeps promises to himself. Practice this: assume the feeling of the completed work, revise any sense of lack, and let your inner claim guide your actions. As you persist in this inner discipline, doors open, opportunities align, and wealth—defined as provision and capability—emerges as your natural expression.
Practice This Now
Assume the end: feel yourself completing the task with ease. Revise any doubt and persist in the quiet confidence that you are steady and capable.
