Mercy and Truth, Inner Favor

Proverbs 3:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
Proverbs 3:3-4

Biblical Context

Mercy and truth are inner dispositions to keep near. The verse instructs you to bind mercy around your neck and write truth on your heart so you may receive favor and understanding from God and man.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us enter the realm where mercy and truth are actual states of consciousness. Mercy is the awakened awareness of compassion; Truth is the fidelity of your I AM to its true nature. To bind them about your neck is to carry these qualities with you in every circumstance; to write them upon the table of your heart is to rehearse them until they are living recordings within you. When you inhabit mercy and truth, you align with a natural order that God experiences as your inner decree. The outer world then reflects your inner state—favor and good understanding appear not by pleading but by being. You are not begging for life; you are rewriting your life from within. Your I AM, the living God within, responds to this inner arrangement by shaping events to confirm your new self. Cultivate this identity and watch conditions shift to match the mercy and truth you have chosen to wear as your own truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling that mercy and truth are your present state. Visualize them as a necklace about your neck and as words written on the table of your heart, then feel the wish fulfilled as favor from God and man.
