Mercy as Inner Lending Seed
Psalms 37:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse speaks of a merciful, generous nature that lends freely. The consequence is that one's seed is blessed.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's register, nothing is outside the mind. He would say: Mercy is not charity to others in the outer world alone, but a steady state of awareness that lends its fullness to every event. If you imagine yourself as the I AM that lends, you are never bankrupt; you are the fountain from which all good comes. The 'seed' is your inner state—the idea you dwell on, the assumption you hold about yourself and life. When you maintain a merciful, lending nature, you align with the law that gives form to your thoughts. The blessing is not a separate reward but the natural outcome of consistent inner alignment; your seed becomes blessed because it is fed by the mental soil of compassion and faith. Therefore, the verse invites you to practice a daily act of inward generosity: lend your attention to what is true in you—the presence of God—and expect the conditions of your life to respond in kind.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close eyes and assume the state: I am merciful, and I lend; my seed is blessed. Feel the truth in your chest as if it were already so, and carry that trust into every moment today.
