Neville Goddard on Proverbs 30:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 30 in context

Scripture Focus

8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Proverbs 30:8-9

Biblical Context

The verses counsel releasing vanity and lies. They urge a middle way of provision—neither abundance nor scarcity—to keep you rooted in God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present is the stage for the inner kingdom. The words vanity and lies are not external temptations but inner misalignments with the I AM. The extremes of riches and poverty are mis-timed feelings that loosen the grip of God in daily life. In a Neville reading, prosperity is not a bank account but a state of consciousness that can be felt here and now. To be fed with food convenient for me is to receive exactly what truth requires for your present function, neither more nor less. When you are full with self-sufficiency, you deny the LORD; when you are poor with lack-consciousness, you may steal in fear and defy His name. The key is to cultivate a balanced awareness that supplies your needs in harmony with your inner purpose and reverence. You practice by assuming you are already in possession of your daily bread, and that God is the I AM supplying you through your own awareness. In that feeling, you witness the verse become experience: you do not compel fortune, you align with God and your world follows.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of balanced provision; feel the I AM supplying you with exactly what you need, neither more nor less, and rest in that reality.
