Girdle of Righteousness and Faith
Isaiah 11:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 11:5 presents righteousness as the girdle of the loins and faithfulness as the girdle of the reins, symbolizing inner order and steadiness. It invites us to see virtue as an inward belt keeping the consciousness aligned with truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Isaiah’s line, see the I AM you wearing a belt of inner virtue. Righteousness is the girdle about the loins of your consciousness—an alignment that makes every choice true to the integrity you can live with. Faithfulness is the girdle about the reins—your steady, ongoing commitment to the state you intend to inhabit. These are not outward laws but inner dispositions, felt as real now. When you dwell in this image, you act from a consistency of being; outcomes mirror a mind that has chosen to be true to its own standard. If doubt or fear assert themselves, revise, “I am aligned with truth; I am faithful to the vision I hold.” You live not by external proofs but by the quality of your awareness. The person you are becoming already exists in the I AM; you now clothe yourself with these girdles and let your life move in the direction of that durable inner certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a moment of stillness, imagine a belt forming around your middle—one side labeled 'Righteousness' and the other 'Faithfulness.' Feel both as real now, then revise and affirm, “I am righteous now; I am faithful now.”
