The Inner Clothing of Strength
Proverbs 31:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents strength and honor as the person's clothing, and she rejoices about what is to come. It also says she speaks with wisdom, and kindness guides her words.
Neville's Inner Vision
I speak of strength and honor not as outside garments but as the glow of consciousness you wear. Proverbs 31:25-26 invites you to clothe your mind in unwavering power and noble regard, rejoicing now as if the future you seek has already come. The phrase 'she openeth her mouth with wisdom' is a description of your inner voice: when your thoughts are disciplined, your words carry the law of kindness. In Neville's terms you do not wait for virtue to arrive; you assume its reality and feel it real in this breath. You awaken the I AM that already reigns within, and your speech becomes an instrument of discernment and mercy. The 'time to come' is thus a present moment you choose to inhabit, not a distant milestone. As you dwell in this state, you discover that your actions align with dignity, mercy, and wise stewardship. Imagination is the birth canal of reality; so you return here, again and again, until the feeling of strength and honor is your habitual atmosphere.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume: I am clothed in strength and honor. Speak from that state, letting wisdom and kindness guide every word.
