Neville Goddard on Habakkuk 1:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Habakkuk 1 in context

Scripture Focus

2O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

3Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

Habakkuk 1:2-4

Biblical Context

Habakkuk laments that his cries about violence and injustice go unheard, and he is shown grievance and conflict. He observes a broken order where the law is slack and the wicked surround the righteous, producing wrong judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your asking, Habakkuk's cry reveals you are not hearing the inner decree of your own I AM. The scenes of violence and the broken order are not merely outside events but inner movements of fear, doubt, and resistance in consciousness. The answer is not found by changing external rulers but by revising your state: assume that the Law is active now and that you, as the I AM, govern the field of your experience. When you feel that the perfect order exists already and claim it with conviction, the appearance of lawlessness softens, contention dissolves, and right judgment proceeds. See through appearances as fog yielding to the light of inner notice. Your cries transform when you remember you are the source of form and fate, and the outer world will mirror the inner alignment you maintain. The discipline is simple: dwell in the certainty of a just, living law within, and let your imagination do the rest.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene by assuming I am the I AM governing the law of my life now. Feel the reality of inner justice and let the sense of peace saturate the body for a few breaths.
