Wealth's Wings, Inner Provision

Proverbs 23:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 23 in context

Scripture Focus

4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Proverbs 23:4-5

Biblical Context

Proverbs 23:4-5 warns against chasing wealth and relying on your own wisdom. Riches fade when sought outside inner awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, know that the line Labour not to be rich and Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? is not a reprimand to the outer purse but a description of the mind. Wealth is not a thing you are chasing; it is the movement of awareness you inhabit. When you labour with 'own wisdom' you are clinging to a thought-form—clever plans, competitive aims, the belief that you must manufacture abundance. That is the 'I' of lack, a counterfeit king who commands the market and then flees. The true king sits in silence, the I AM that you are, and from that quiet authority wealth grows as a natural consequence of reality seen from inner sight. The wings of riches fly away only when you look to them as separate from you. Instead, set your gaze on what cannot be seen by the eye: the eternal supply within, the unchanging I AM. Make a present-tense assumption: I AM abundantly supplied; my every need is provided by the one I am. In dropping the attempt to prove wealth by external means, you release the inner cause and invite manifestation in form.

Practice This Now

Assume the present-tense statement I AM abundantly supplied for a few minutes each day; feel that reality as your own now, and let the sense of fullness quiet the impulse to chase outward riches.
