Rooted In The Righteous
Proverbs 12:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Outward wicked actions don't establish a person. True stability comes from the inward root of the righteous, which cannot be moved.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of God as the I AM within you. The verse does not condemn outward wickedness so much as reveal the futility of trying to establish life by it. A man may bend his will to misdeeds, yet no deed of the surface can plant a root that endures; only the root of the righteous, a state of conscious being, remains unmoved. Your true establishment is not in laws, reputations, or wealth, but in the inward steadiness of awareness that knows itself as love, integrity, and wholeness. When you inhabit the I AM and imagine from that center, you are feeding the root with vitality; you are not reacting to appearances but confirming a truth that cannot be undone by circumstance. Wickedness is a movement in the outer; establishment is a movement of consciousness that recognizes itself as love. So the inner root, once awakened, holds fast through every storm, and the outer world arranges itself to reflect that inner assumption.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, rest in I AM, and silently affirm: I am established in the root of the righteous; I am unmoved by appearances. Feel that inner sturdiness as if it were your very breath, and let it saturate your awareness for a few minutes.
