Inner Waiting for Salvation
Proverbs 20:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Do not repay evil with evil; choose to wait for the Lord instead. Trust that divine order will bring your salvation as you center your awareness there.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember that the Lord in Proverbs is not a distant judge but the I AM you are when you are fully awake to your own consciousness. The urge to retaliate comes from a belief in lack, a sense that you must seize power in the moment to prove you are safe. When you refuse to recompense evil, you are not denying justice; you are denying the reality of separation from God and aligning with the one living presence within you that saves. In this light, waiting on the Lord means resting in the certainty that your life is already arranged by divine order, and that salvation unfolds as you hold steady in that state. The outer world then mirrors that inner state: what seems to threaten you dissolves as your awareness remains fixed on I AM, the source of all good. By keeping faith in your inner, salvific state, you allow a new sequence of events to be born—events that reflect healing, protection, and triumph that were always yours in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and plant yourself in the feeling of being saved now—inhale trust, exhale fear. Then revise any memory of harm by blessing the situation in your mind as already resolved.
