Inner Wisdom, Happy Trust
Proverbs 16:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
When you handle a matter wisely, you shall find good; when you trust in the LORD, you become happy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 16:20 speaks of two inner moves that are really one. A man who 'handles a matter wisely' is a mind that chooses its thoughts with discernment, aligning each situation with the I AM that you are. The 'LORD' is not outside you but the living awareness—your own I AM—whose trust is a returning to the unity of your being. When you trust this inner LORD, your attention rests in a state where contradiction dissolves and harmony arises. Your outer world rearranges to reflect the inward order you now assume. The good you seek is the natural fruit of disciplined imagination; happiness is the residue of confidence in the I AM behind every event. Do not chase outcomes, but assume the feeling of already being the wise steward and the joyful believer. The moment you revise your scene to this inner standard, you align with truth and feel successive states—clarity, calm, and eventual flourishing—because you have chosen to dwell in the awareness that never forsakes you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of wise inner guidance for a current matter; affirm 'I trust the LORD within me' and imagine the issue resolving in good.
