The Lot That Quieted Contentions

Read Proverbs 18 in context

Scripture Focus

18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
Proverbs 18:18

Biblical Context

Proverbs 18:18 states that drawing a lot brings contentions to an end and divides between the mighty. It hints at an orderly, decisive method for resolving conflict.

Neville's Inner Vision

In truth the lot is no random device but a symbol of your inner decision. The 'contentions' are the clashing desires within you; the 'mighty' are the most stubborn beliefs you carry. When you imagine drawing the lot, you are not seeking fortune, you are declaring that a final verdict exists in your consciousness. By assuming the outcome—peace, harmony, a settled purpose—you transfer power from the outer argument to the I AM that you are. The lot then ceases to be a tool of fate and becomes a ritual of inner alignment. As you feel the decision as already made, the mind stops chasing resolutions and settles into one undivided state. The apparent conflict between possibilities is dissolved by the conviction that the inner state governs the outer. Remember, you are not subject to chance; you are the one who commands the conditions of your world through inner assumption. Cast the inner lot, and let peace take its rightful place.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine casting an inner lot over the issue, choosing peace as the outcome. Feel-it-real that in your consciousness the decision is already made, and notice the contentions quieting.
