Abundance Through Discernment
Proverbs 13:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Much food is produced by the poor's tillage; yet destruction comes for want of judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Neville's inner reading of Proverbs 13:23 sees the tillage as a state of mind and the harvest as outward results. The 'poor' is not a person but a state of consciousness that tills the soil of life with attention and labor. Abundance, the verse says, is already sown in that soil, awaiting right relationship between perception and action. When judgment is lacking, even plentiful seed is wasted—decisions born of fear, habit, or false stories destroy the harvest. Therefore the work of a true sower is to govern inner life with discernment, to imagine and sustain a fruitful state rather than react to appearances. To Neville, wealth does not come by luck but by the faithful cultivation of a majestic I AM within, a consciousness that sees possibilities and withholds no one thing from realization. By aligning thought, feeling, and action with a coherent state—abundance, prudence, and clarity—the outer world mirrors that inner harvest. The verse invites you to practice this alignment daily, until judgment becomes your natural instrument of creation.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of already-harvested abundance, speaking softly 'I am abundance' until it vibrates in you. Then look at a current decision and revise it with the mental image of prudent harvest, letting that discipline guide your actions.
