Inner Wisdom Love
Proverbs 8:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 8:17 teaches that God loves those who love Him, and that those who seek Him early will find Him, inviting a felt, reciprocal relationship with wisdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 8:17 is not a command about time but a disclosure of state. God, the I AM within, loves those who love the idea of Him. The 'early' seeker is not waking at dawn to chase wisdom but awakening the mind to its own divinity. When you feel your awareness turn toward Wisdom as a living presence, you are not seeking assent from without; you are reconstituting your inner state. The moment you realize Wisdom is the activity of your own consciousness, you attract discernment, truth, and faithfulness as natural fruits. The I AM is not distant; it remains when you cease bargaining with fear. 'Seek me early' translates to begin your day by affirming, 'I am awake to Wisdom now,' and allow the felt sense of that presence to guide decisions. Thus the inner dialogue becomes a state of consciousness that manifests as wiser choices and steadier trust.
Practice This Now
Assume that Wisdom is already present in your awareness and revise any sense of lack by stating, 'I have found Wisdom within me now,' and feel the certainty of guidance filling your being.
