Neville Goddard on Proverbs 4:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 4 in context

Scripture Focus

8Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

9She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

Proverbs 4:8-9

Biblical Context

Wisdom is exalted as the inner guide. Embracing her yields honor, grace, and a crown of glory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse speaks of a psychology of ascent. Wisdom is not a prize to obtain out there, but an inner state to claim within the I AM that you are. Exalt wisdom in your mind as if it were the law of your being, and notice how the atmosphere shifts to support that conviction. To embrace her is to rest in that state until imagination becomes your dominant feeling, until insight flows as your first response to life. When you dwell there consistently, the world glances you with favor: your thoughts lead you to situations that honor you, and grace adorns your days. The crown of glory is not a fragile ornament but the assured dignity that arises when you acknowledge wisdom as your governing principle. So practice this revision: I am wisdom exalted; I am guided by inner discernment; I am crowned with grace in every moment.
