Inner Speech Is Gold
Proverbs 25:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows that the right word at the right time is precious. A wise correction lands well only when the listener is receptive.
Neville's Inner Vision
Plainly, Proverbs 25:11-12 teaches that speech issues from the inner state. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver, a harmony of form and essence when consciousness is in tune. When I dwell in the I AM, my thoughts and words take on a precise, valuable resonance; the right utterance appears as if placed in a frame of silver and gold, matching the moment's need. A wise reprover upon an obedient ear is not a harsh judgment but a natural correction that arises because the listener's inner state is already inclined toward truth. The outer word reflects the inner discipline; my inner sight and my language align, so little is wasted and much is gained. The 'reprover' is the quiet but decisive correction of belief, guiding the other to awaken to their higher self. The practice is to cultivate the consciousness that every thought and word preserves harmony, and to assume that the next word spoken will be exactly fit for the situation.
Practice This Now
Assume the next word you speak is the exact fit for the moment. Revise any harsh inner talk to love and feel it real.
