Biblical Context
Wisdom says she dwells with prudence and reveals knowledge and clever inventions. She declares that the fear of the LORD hates evil and that counsel, sound wisdom, understanding, and strength are hers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within my consciousness, Wisdom is the I AM that dwells with prudence and reveals knowledge of witty inventions as I imagine and refine. I am not seeking outward cleverness; I grant the inner counsel permission to guide my sense of self and action. The fear of the LORD becomes reverence for truth, a deliberate decision to hate evil—pride, arrogancy, the evil way, and the froward mouth—and I address those states by aligning inner speech with integrity. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, and I have strength. This is not a distant quality but my present nature, available whenever I choose to align with it. As I assume this reality, choices become prudent, speech becomes calm, and my life moves with greater cohesion and energy. Imagination births reality, so I dwell in this truth and allow wisdom to steer my steps.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM of Wisdom already resides within you; sit quietly for a few minutes and listen for inner counsel, then revise one upcoming decision with prudent, faithful guidance, feeling it real. Then carry out the revised choice and observe how your world responds.
