Inner Rest for the Soul
Isaiah 14:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 14:3 promises a coming rest from sorrow, fear, and bondage. It points to an inner liberation that arrives as awareness shifts.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, this verse is not a future event in the world but a shift in your state. The LORD in your reading is the I AM, that immortal awareness which never departs from you. Rest comes not by escaping life, but by ceasing to identify with sorrow, fear, or bondage as your reality, and by invoking the truth of your unlimited nature. The so-called day is any moment you choose to revise your inner script and to feel the liberty as already present. Bondage is a habit of thought, a memory formed by repeated fearful imaginations; freedom is a new feeling-tone you deliberately cultivate until it saturates your being. When you imagine yourself as already free and dwell in that feeling, you align with the cause of all experience, and the world you experience begins to reflect the inner rest you chose. Imagination is not escape; it is the instrument by which you awaken to the truth that you are, here and now, the rest you seek.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare I AM at rest, and feel the relief as sorrow and fear melt away. Revise your sense of self until you experience freedom as your present reality, then carry that feeling back into daily life.
