The Inner Beginning of Wisdom
Psalms 111:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 111 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that reverent awareness of the LORD is the starting point of wisdom, with those who live by His commands gaining clear understanding and praise that endures.
Neville's Inner Vision
In your inner theater, the 'fear of the LORD' is not dread but the awe-filled recognition of the I AM you truly are. Wisdom does not come from outside rules but from an inner alignment with the divine order you inhabit. The 'beginning' is the first turning of attention toward this Presence; once you stand in it, your thought becomes pure, discernment returns, and the sense of lack dissolves. The phrase 'a good understanding' belongs to those who practice the inner commandments—the steady obedience to the truth you already know: quiet your mind, listen to the still voice, and act from love. When you keep faith with your inner revelation, praise endures because the living Presence you acknowledge becomes the living reality of your days. The law, then, is psychological: habituate yourself to the I AM as ruler of your life, and wisdom naturally follows as your ordinary state of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and assume the I AM as ruler of your life. Revise any doubt by declaring 'I understand now' and feel it real as your daily wisdom.
