Inner Judgment and the Heart
Proverbs 24:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse teaches that God sees the truth within us; ignorance does not hide from Him. He weighs the heart and rewards each person by their deeds.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 24:12 invites you to see that the I AM—the I within you—knows every motive and cannot be fooled by a claim of ignorance. The heart is the seat of your being; to ponder it is to awaken to your own law of life. When you say, 'we knew it not,' you are refusing the inner acknowledgment that your state of consciousness writes your experience. Your 'works' are the steady movements of belief, feeling, and choice; to alter them, you do not plead knowledge from without but revise from within. Think of the heart-watcher as your higher Self who weighs you not by outward deeds alone but by the consistency of your inner state. If you awaken to this, the external world adjusts to reflect your new state of awareness. The shift is not in blaming others or forcing events; it is in deciding, right now, that you are the author of what you behold, fully known to the inner I AM who renders according to your true consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat: 'I am fully known by the I AM; I revise my state now to reflect truth.' See yourself weighing thoughts with calm discernment and feel the certainty of alignment.
