Inner Strength Through Knowledge
Proverbs 24:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A wise person is strong, and strength increases as one gains knowledge. The verse links inner wisdom with practical power.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader, Proverbs 24:5 is spoken as a manual for the inner man. A wise man is strong because knowledge has become a reality within the I AM; strength is simply the measure of the degree to which you inhabit the truth you study. In Neville's language, every fact you learn exists as a possibility in your consciousness and, by assumption, becomes a living force you can act from. When you no longer chase strength as something outside but invite it as a native function of your awareness, your mind aligns with the fact that you already know more than you knew yesterday. The wise man uses knowledge to choose his feelings, his decisions, and his reactions; thus, knowledge multiplies power by consolidating the inner conviction that you are the designer of your world. The verse asks you to dwell in the assurance that your understanding is not separate from you but the very energy you operate with. Strength grows when your sense of self expands to include the truths you study.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM knowledge; I am strong through knowledge.' Feel the inner conviction as if the strength is already present, and hold that sense for a minute.
