Neville Goddard on Proverbs 3:1-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Proverbs 3:1-10

Biblical Context

The verse urges you to keep divine law in your heart and trust the inner I AM, so that health, peace, and abundance follow as your life is guided by divine wisdom. By aligning inwardly, you invite favor with God and man.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the command as a living state of your awareness. The law is mercy and truth, virtues you wear about your inner neck and write on the table of your heart by the act of assumption. When you forget not the inner law and let this truth govern your thoughts, you begin to find favor and clear understanding in the sight of God and man because you have consciously aligned with your divine I AM. Trust in the LORD with all thy heart becomes trust in the complete Being you are, and lean not unto thy own understanding becomes refusing to mortgage your power to mere appearances. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths — meaning the inner guidance that always knows the way. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil as you turn away from counterfeit thoughts. Such alignment brings health to your body, and abundance to your life, as you honor the Source with the firstfruits of your increase.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and assume a single sentence: I am guided by the I AM within me; feel this truth now. Then envision a day arranged by inner guidance, with mercy and truth leading every action, and abundance unfolding as you continue in that alignment.
