Fear's Snare, Trust's Safety
Proverbs 29:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that fearing people can trap you, but trusting in the LORD yields safety—a shift from outer approval to inner alignment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within every fear of man lies a snare, for you hand your power to the opinions of others and forget the I AM that you are. Fear becomes a doorway to separation; yet the LORD, the I AM within, is the sure harbor. When you trust the LORD, you do not cling to outward judgments; you align your consciousness with a timeless safety that cannot be shaken by any external suggestion. The safety Proverbs promises is not a physical refuge but a state of awareness in which you know yourself as loved and guided by an ever-present intelligence. As you dwell there, the snare dissolves; you walk through crowds with the calm of one who is chosen and protected by the inner governor. Providence responds to faith in the I AM by revealing events as nudges toward your true image. This verse invites you to revise fear into a reaffirmation of your essential security, turning external threats into cues for deeper alignment with your divine self.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of inner safety now by declaring, 'I am safe because I trust the LORD within me.' Dwell in that sensation until it feels real.
