Inner Desires, Outer Reality

Proverbs 11:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 11 in context

Scripture Focus

23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
Proverbs 11:23

Biblical Context

The verse sets two inner dispositions against each other: the righteous desire only good. The wicked anticipate wrath.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two inner states contend for your life. The righteousness here is not a badge but a steadfast posture: to desire only the good and to dwell in the assumption that it is already yours. When you inhabit that state, you align with the I AM within and the outer scene gently rearranges itself toward harmony. The other side—what the book calls the wicked—projects fear and expects punishment. But this is not a verdict imposed from outside; it is the natural result of a mind that believes in separation from the good. By shifting your inner dialogue from fear to belief—in the good you are and have—you invite that same good into form. Remember: imagination is the law; your desires become experiences as you persist in the feeling that the desired good is already true. This is the simple practice of living by a single, steady assumption: I desire only good, and I am that good now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the good you desire is already true for the situation you face. Feel it as real now.
