Inner Path, Fretting Foolishness
Proverbs 19:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows that foolishness derails a person's path. The fretting heart resists the LORD within, as if opposing the I AM that moves life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 19:3 points to the inner weather of a man. The 'foolishness' that perverts his way is not a random error but a state of consciousness that misfunctions the inner harmonies by fear, doubt, or selfish imagining. When his heart fretteth against the LORD, he frets against his own I AM, the living awareness that makes every form. You and I do not suffer from fate as a thing outside us; we are the consciousness that paints the stage. So the moment you notice fret, you are invited to revise: assume the end now, feel it real, and let your imagination align with that end. Imagine the road already clear, the obstacles dissolved by a deeper sense of being, and the LORD within becomes your trusted partner rather than a distant judge. The perversion clears as awareness steadies, and the path becomes straight as you refuse to argue with life and choose to inhabit the answer. This is not a denial of life but its correct use: you awaken to your own I AM and walk forward.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet, say 'I am the I AM; my path is now clear,' feel it real for a few breaths, then carry the sense into the day.
