Desiring the Inner Day of Light

Amos 5:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 5 in context

Scripture Focus

18Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amos 5:18

Biblical Context

Desire for the Day of the LORD is a longing for external change; Amos says such longing yields darkness rather than light. The path to true light is inside, through your own awareness and the I AM presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Desiring the day of the LORD is not a fervent wish for justice; it is an admission that the self believes in a power outside its I AM. In Neville's terms, you are the MAN who stands at the threshold of a future manifestation, and you think that until that date the light will be dim. Amos calls this longing 'darkness, and not light' because it projects light as something to be earned rather than found within. The day of the LORD, then, is the moment you awaken to the truth that the God of your life is the I AM, the awareness that is always present, never pending. When you cling to a distant day, you cling to lack, and your outer world reflects it. When you pivot from seeking a day to claiming the inner state, the inner becomes outer; your thoughts, feelings, and images align with the light you already possess. So you revise your assumption: you are already in the day you seek, and the night dissolves into dawn as your attention rests in I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the desired day now; close your eyes and imagine you are already living in the light you seek; refuse any sense of delay by repeating, 'I am the light now' until it feels real.
