Corner Of Inner Peace

Proverbs 21:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 21 in context

Scripture Focus

9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Proverbs 21:9

Biblical Context

Proverbs 21:9 contrasts outer circumstance with inner state: it is better to choose quiet, solitary peace than to endure strife in a crowded, 'wide' house.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the image of the housetop corner as a decree of your mind. The ‘brawling woman’ is not a person but the restless wind of fear, habit, and inner accusation. To dwell in that corner is to choose a state of awareness, to suspend the outer drama and awaken to the I AM that watches. When you imagine from that elevated posture, you are not escaping life; you are ordering it by attention. The moment you accept that the inner perceiver can rest while the outer scene whirls, your inner movements shift: you revise the story, soften the loud voices, and let peace rise like a quiet crust over the mind. From that inner peace, discernment arises: you see what needs changing in your own thoughts rather than in others, and you align your day with the calm that already resides within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine stepping to a quiet corner of your inner housetop; declare, I am at peace here. Then feel that peace fill your mind and soften the inner brawl.
