Inner Planting, Outer Harvest
Isaiah 17:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that neglecting the God of salvation and the rock of strength leads you to rely on outward, pleasing rituals that yield sorrow instead of lasting fruit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Isaiah as your inner weather report. The God of thy salvation is the I AM that you awaken to within; forgetting Him is the moment you yield to surface rites and forget the rock of your inner strength. When you plant pleasant things with slips of form, you sow in soil imagined, not felt. In your inner day you may see outward growth, yet the harvest you reap will be grief because the root never touched the life that animates it. Resolve to return your attention to living awareness, to I AM, to the rock of strength that never diminishes. Align every practice with that consciousness, and the garden grows true—no counterfeit slips, no upheaval at need. The kingdom is within, and when you dwell there, your outward experience reflects that inward reality; the harvest becomes a fountain of calm rather than a heap of sorrow.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state 'I AM the God of my salvation; I am mindful of the rock of my strength.' In the next moment, revise outward rituals by silently declaring this truth, feeling the inner certainty as real in your chest.
