Inner Word, Inner Reward

Proverbs 13:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 13 in context

Scripture Focus

13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Proverbs 13:13

Biblical Context

Despisers invite destruction. Those who fear and honor the inner commandment receive reward.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this proverb, the 'word' is the living law your I AM speaks to you, and the 'commandment' is the disciplined act of listening and obeying that word. Despisers of the word are not sinners in time, but states of consciousness convinced that the inner decree is not binding. They resist the I AM's promptings and live under the tyranny of fear, doubt, or appetite; from that resistance flows destruction—disorder, mistaken choices, and missed blessings. Those who fear the commandment, on the other hand, are not fearing punishment but honoring the inner law as the sure guide. When you treat the inner word as reality and obey the inner commandment as your compass, you awaken a harmony that heals and aligns circumstance with your true intent. The reward is not a distant prize but a felt sense of rightness, peace, and effective action showing up as favorable circumstances. In Neville's terms, the imagination crafts the conditions; when you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM hearing the word and acting upon it, your world rearranges itself to reflect that inner decree. Begin by steadying attention on the inner prompt and revise any belief of separation until the sense of union with the word becomes your natural state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I hear the inner word; I obey the inner commandment.' Feel it as real now and see a situation in your life align to this inner order, rewarding you.
