Neville Goddard on Habakkuk 3:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Habakkuk 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

2O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

Habakkuk 3:1-2

Biblical Context

Habakkuk records a prayer where he hears God, feels fear, and asks for the renewal of God's work in the present, while requesting mercy in the midst of wrath.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, the 'LORD' is the I AM—the inner awareness that never ceases to affirm power. Habakkuk's fear signals readiness for a shift in consciousness. When he pleads to 'revive thy work in the midst of the years,' he is calling you to revise the inner picture, to believe your life can be renewed right now. 'In wrath remember mercy' becomes: within inner turbulence, mercy is the natural function of awareness, not a distant mercy earned by struggle. The year is the present moment; by assuming your inner work is revived, you awaken the conditions that render revival real outwardly. The voice that trembles at hearing the word becomes the I AM that creates, forgives, and renews. Practice is simple: enter the feeling that your inner work is alive, known, and renewed today, and observe how outer circumstances respond as a natural result of inner clarity.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state 'I AM revived now.' Then revise any sense of delay by feeling mercy moving through your life in the present moment.
