Commitment, Thought, and Inner Order
Proverbs 16:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites you to devote your outer acts to the divine, so your inner thoughts settle into steadiness; it also suggests that all things exist to serve the divine plan, even those that appear adversarial.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awakened imagination, 'Commit thy works unto the LORD' is a command to place every action within the I AM you are. When you decide that each deed flows from the divine, your thoughts align and settle, becoming a steady, unshaken ground. The line, 'The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil,' is a revelation about consciousness: all experiences—contrast, challenge, or opposition—arise to awaken the one self-creation. Do not battle what seems wrong; revise it. Regard every circumstance as a vibration of the same presence, rearranging itself to reveal the state you hold now. Thus the outer world mirrors your inner state, and what appears as 'wicked' becomes a teacher guiding your thoughts toward the truth of who you are. In this practice, the divine purpose unfolds as your own interior order, governing even the most unlikely happenings.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am one with the LORD; I commit all I do to the I AM within.' Feel your thoughts settling into a steady, unshakable ground. Then revise a live worry by affirming, 'My thoughts are established by the I AM,' and imagine the scene resolving in harmony.
