Inner Motives Revealed
Proverbs 16:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
People believe their paths are clean in their own eyes. Yet the LORD weighs the spirits—those hidden motives that move every act.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your 'ways' are only pictures formed in the mind; the moment you claim they are clean, you reveal a state of consciousness. The LORD weighing the spirits is the I AM weighing your hidden motives, not your outward acts. You do not improve by polishing appearances; you improve by revising the inner assumption that you are what you perceive. If a motive arises—self-importance, fear, or pride—watch it as the I AM would, and let it dissolve by a higher certainty: I am whole, I am pure in my true self. When you believe you are already what you seek to be, you feel the weighing as a soft inner rearrangement of conviction. Assume the feeling of the ideal self you know you are, hold it as real, and do not argue with appearances. Feel it real that the inner conviction has changed, and your outer life will reflect that change. The inner audit is creative; the only judge is your I AM, who refines you until alignment with integrity becomes your lived experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the I AM weighing every motive now, and revise a questionable motive into integrity. Feel it real that you are already that which you seek.
