Inner Wealth and Grace

Proverbs 11:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 11 in context

Scripture Focus

16A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
Proverbs 11:16

Biblical Context

Proverbs 11:16 contrasts gracious honor with the wealth anchored in strength; outward outcomes reflect inner dispositions: grace preserves dignity, while force preserves riches.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a state of consciousness, this proverb invites you to notice that honor and riches are not external prizes but results of inner being. A gracious woman embodies a mind that leads with gentleness, stillness, and goodwill—an attitude that does not demand respect but earns it by its steady presence. In Neville terms, to retain honor is to remain faithful to your I AM, guarding your self-image with imaginative fidelity. The strong man who retains riches represents a consciousness that clamps onto wealth through struggle and external striving; such a mind may appear prosperous yet often lacks true honor because the source of its wealth is fear or need. The key is to realize that both honor and wealth flow from the inner state you assume. When you consciously dwell in the reality of grace and dignity, you attract respect and provision as natural outcomes. Shift your center from striving to being, from lack to the present I AM, and let imagination declare the already here abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of present honor and abundant provision as your natural state. Let the I AM affirm your wealth and dignity until it feels real.
