Read Proverbs 31 in context

Scripture Focus

13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through the I AM, this scene is not a history of a woman but a portrait of your inner law at work. 'She' represents your waking consciousness willing to engage the world, to gather wool and flax as symbols of ideas and services, and to trade them with the world as evidence of inner stamina. The ships of the mind sail to distant markets of desire, bringing nourishment from the unseen into form. The night hours and the candle burning symbolize your secret imaginative activity, where you withhold nothing and let plans ripen within your true self. The field bought and the vineyard planted are mental investments, decisions within your awareness that yield outward fruit. Strength and resilience come from the discipline of attention; you gird your loins with purpose and your arms with steadiness. When you perceive your merchandise is good, you declare your inner commerce sound, and your external world follows the image you have chosen in the I AM. Imagination creates reality; so choose prosperity in the present, and feel it real.
