Proverbs 7:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 7:4 invites you to name Wisdom as a sister and Understanding as kin, signaling an intimate, familial relationship with inner discernment that guards you from folly.
Neville's Inner Vision
To declare, 'Thou art my sister' to Wisdom is to acknowledge that wisdom is not a distant tutor but an intimate, beloved part of you—the very I AM awareness you call God. When you also name Understanding thy kinswoman, you are affirming that discernment is a familial ally within your consciousness, always ready to guide. This kinship is not earned by force but recognized as your natural state. Your present world is the outward sign of your inner alignment; feeling and imagination work together to fulfill what you assent to in consciousness. Therefore, assume the state of being wise; dwell in the atmosphere of sisterhood and kinship, and revise any thought that discounts this bond. As you tend this inner family—the I AM, Wisdom as sister, Understanding as kin—you will notice choices becoming more prudent, relationships more clear, and daily life reflecting your inner order.
Practice This Now
Practice this now: close your eyes, declare 'Wisdom is my sister' and 'Understanding is my kin' as an unshakable decree, and feel the warmth of kinship settling into your chest; before any decision, consult this inner council and revise until your inner atmosphere aligns with wise action.
