Patience in Inheritance: Inner Blessing

Proverbs 20:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 20 in context

Scripture Focus

21An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
Proverbs 20:21

Biblical Context

The proverb warns that wealth or inheritance gained quickly may not bear lasting blessing; true fruit arises when the inner state is aligned with discernment and patience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'inheritance' as your outer condition, the 'beginning' as the moment you turn toward a desired state. When you grasp at it hastily, you betray the inner law: you have not yet settled the state of being that would sustain it. The end not being blessed means the outward benefit collapses with the very energy that rushed it. But you are not bound to this cycle. The I AM within, your permanent consciousness, is the source of all provision. If you would see an inheritance become blessed at its end, you must first imprint your inner world with the feeling that your supply is assured, beginning and ending in divine order. Practice the art of living from the end: imagine the blessing as already completed in your inner reality, and let your external choices reflect patient, discerning action rather than impulsive grasping. When impulse to "have now" arises, welcome it as a signal to pause, revise, and return to the steady conviction that the I AM provides in perfect timing. In that inner trust, the end reveals itself as blessed, because it flows from you rather than chasing you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of true provision already in place; revise any haste into patient expectancy and imagine a continuous, unforced stream of good coming to you from the I AM.
