Keep My Commandments, Live
Proverbs 7:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Keep the commandments, for they protect and sustain life. The verse makes the law a center of awareness—the apple of the eye—around which your whole being orients.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner life is governed not by external codes but by the states of consciousness you assume. When you 'keep' the commandments, you are not dutifully following rules; you are choosing a consistent mode of awareness that births living reality. The 'law' becomes the apple of your eye—the focal point of sight and intention—precisely because you treat it as precious and central. As you hold that inner law in constant view, your thoughts and feelings align with it, and experience arises in harmony with that alignment. The I AM that you are recognizes the commandment as a durable pattern within, not a distant decree; obedience is simply refusing to depart from the level of thought that law requires. Thus, life is the natural expression of consciousness when you cultivate a single, living principle and keep it in view. Every moment that you refresh your attention on that inner standard, you refresh your world.
Practice This Now
Choose one inner commandment to anchor your day (for example, honesty or steadiness). Repeat, 'I keep my commandments, and I live,' and feel this truth as already real in your present experience.
