Wakeful Wealth Within
Proverbs 20:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns against idle sleep, implying poverty comes from inner slumber. By opening inner sight, one can experience provision.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the I AM, you are not at the mercy of circumstance but of consciousness. 'Love not sleep' is a command to refuse the dream-world of lack and to fix attention on the I AM within. 'Open thine eyes' invites you to awaken to the inner kingdom where needs are already provided. Poverty arises not from fate but from an adopted mental slumber; bread is drawn into awareness through steadfast, confident assumption. When you dwell in the feeling of fullness—possibility, supply, daily bread—as you would in a vivid dream, you align with the present-tense truth of God: I AM. Your voluntary shift of state transforms the outward life, turning poverty into provision as if by magic, yet it is the natural law of consciousness responding to your inner recognition. The practical outcome is a renewed mental diet that refuses sleep and feeds life with certainty.
Practice This Now
Practice: Upon waking, revise any poverty thought by assuming the state of abundance. Feel bread in your hand and declare, 'I am awake and provided for,' letting the feeling become real.
