Inner Counsel, Inner Strength
Proverbs 8:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 8:14 declares that counsel and sound wisdom belong to the speaker, who also identifies as understanding and strength. It points to the inner source of wise direction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the I AM declares that counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding and I have strength. This is not external authority but your own consciousness in expression: you are the source of every discernment, and your world responds to the conviction that you know what to do. The key is to assume the feeling of this truth until it becomes present experience. Do not search outside for guidance; revise any moment as if the wise self within has already spoken and acted. When you face a decision, imagine a calm inner council offering clear, practical steps; hear the quiet voice of understanding and feel the empowering strength coursing through you. By dwelling in this state, you align your outer circumstances with your inner realization; your thoughts and actions become coherent with the truth that you are the author of your life. The verse is a reminder that imagination creates reality, and the I AM is the instrument through which true counsel and power flow.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm, I am the counsel and I have strength. Then revise a current concern from the standpoint that your inner I AM has already resolved it.
