Soul Keeping Through Suffering
1 Peter 4:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse urges those who suffer by God's will to entrust their souls to God while continuing to do good, as one would to a faithful Creator.
Neville's Inner Vision
To suffer according to the will of God is to recognize that your inner state has summoned this experience. The prime instruction is to commit the keeping of your soul to the I AM—your awareness—by dwelling in well-doing. The 'will of God' is not an external command but the alignment of your consciousness with a faithful Creator who governs your inner life. When pain arises, do not fight the movement; instead, revise your scene by returning to the state you desire. See yourself already cared for, kept, and purposeful, acting from that inner stance. The Creator’s faithfulness becomes your certainty that no inner movement is random; it refines your will, clarifies intent, and restores power. Treat every thought and deed as a covenant with the I AM, performed with gratitude and integrity. By choosing to do good from this state, you affirm the reality you seek and prove you are kept from within by the Creator.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of being kept by the I AM. Feel the relief of belonging to the faithful Creator, then perform one small good deed today as if it were already done.
