Bold Righteousness Of Proverbs 28:1
Proverbs 28:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts the wicked who flee as if pursued by unseen danger. The righteous stand bold as a lion, revealing boldness as an inner state of consciousness, not a worldly condition.
Neville's Inner Vision
Fear is not a threat from outside but a mis-timed thought in the I AM. The wicked are the living of fear—states of consciousness that imagine pursuit and react by fleeing; they are not separate beings but separated from their own inner center. The righteous are an inner disposition—the lion of awareness—that knows itself as the I AM. When I align with that inner lion, I stop being moved by appearances. The world becomes a mirror of my interior state; boldness is emitted, not earned by danger. I can revise any image of pursuit by assuming the feeling of sovereignty now: I am the I AM, unthreatened by conditions, unshaken by sounds of chase. Let me feel the chest expand with quiet authority, the breath steady as a lion's gaze. With that revision, decisions become decisive, actions come from interior stillness, and circumstances yield to the power of inner knowing. Thus boldness is not bravado but a faithful memory of the I AM's presence in me.
Practice This Now
Sit with your spine straight, place a hand on your chest, and declare 'I am bold as a lion' while imagining a lion's calm gaze resting on you. Do this for a minute, twice daily, letting the feeling of sovereign I AM fill you until you move through your day with that inner posture.
