Read Proverbs 28 in context

Scripture Focus

6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Proverbs 28:6

Biblical Context

Proverbs 28:6 says it is better to be poor and morally upright than to be rich while living in perversity. It points to inner alignment as true wealth rather than external abundance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the 'poor' are those who walk in uprightness within consciousness; wealth is not money but the health of your inner state. The line does not condemn riches; it calls attention to the inner wealth that accompanies integrity. When you treat this as a spiritual law, you see your external conditions mirror your inner stance. If you persist in an upright, unconditioned I AM-awareness, you are already rich, for you have not sold your integrity to gain more. The mind that refuses a crooked path invites the true supply of God to flow, and inner resources become outer form. The poor man who holds to truth experiences a wealth that no gold can purchase—peace, clarity, and alignment of life. So revise any sense of lack by assuming the state of one who is upright and blessed, and feel it real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the state of uprightness, and feel the wealth of peace already yours. Let the I AM revise any sense of lack and confirm your true abundance.
