Proverbs 5:9-10

Biblical Context

Proverbs 5:9-10 warns against giving your honor and labor to others and allowing your wealth to be controlled by outsiders. It calls you to keep your inner life as the source of true provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5:9-10 reveals a state of consciousness in which you surrender your honor to others and permit your years to labor under a cruel power; the outward consequence is wealth claimed by a stranger. In the Neville tradition, all wealth is the energy of the I AM you are. When external approval or fear governs you, you hand your prosperity to scarcity and the ego. The remedy is to return to the inner governor, the I AM, and to accept yourself as the true steward of your thoughts, time, and treasures. See yourself as the rightful owner of your honor and labor, and let your inner economy dictate outward abundance. As you revise your state to this inner sovereignty, the world reflects a new center: wealth is secured by consciousness, and labor serves the flourishing of your own inner kingdom rather than a stranger's.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare, I AM the I AM; I choose to be the steward of my honor and wealth. Visualize your labor returning to your own house and feel the prosperity rising from within.
