Luminous Words Nourish Life
Proverbs 13:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 13:2-3 teaches that your words are the fruit you eat. Guarding the mouth preserves life; loose speech invites destruction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the verse as a revelation of your inner state. The man who eats good by the fruit of his mouth is the one who discovers that the world answers to his inner articulation. Your speech is not mere sound but a creative act performed by the I AM within you. When you guard your lips, you guard your life, for you have chosen a state that nourishes you rather than harms you. The souls who revel in violence are those who imagine discord and speak it into being; they digest the fruit of their own mental diet. Therefore I counsel you to treat every word as a seed planted in your consciousness garden. If fear tempts you to speak, revise and declare the end you desire as already true. See yourself living in the blessing you utter, and feel the reality of that life now. By practicing disciplined speech you align with the I AM that nourishes and sustains you, turning your mouth into a channel of creative abundance rather than destruction.
Practice This Now
For the next hour, pause before speaking and revise every negative remark into a life-nourishing statement, such as I speak abundance now. Feel it real as a warm current in the chest accompanying the spoken or imagined words.
