Bind Wisdom Upon Your Heart
Proverbs 6:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Keep wisdom continually in the heart, as a lamp and guard for every moment. It promises guidance in action, quiet protection in sleep, and inner conversation at dawn.
Neville's Inner Vision
All of Proverbs 6:21-23 speaks not of external rules but of an inner order that your consciousness freely assumes. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck: this is a decision of identity—you choose a state in which wisdom reigns, and you wear it as your center. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee: the inner law speaks through your every movement, guarding your rest and guiding your day as if a trusted companion. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: the 'lamp' is your perceptive faculty, the 'light' is the clarity that reveals true choice, and the gentle admonitions that correct your course become life itself. In Neville’s terms, this is the I AM anchoring a victorious posture, a state that cannot be shaken by circumstances. By assuming you are already under this inner governance, you set your world to conform to it, until external events become only reflections of your inner alignment.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively wear wisdom as your inner command today: I bind wisdom on my heart and around my neck, and I let the lamp lead me now. As you move, feel the inner talk gently guiding each choice, until life itself reflects this steady state.
