Neville Goddard on Isaiah 26:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

5For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

Isaiah 26:3-6

Biblical Context

Isaiah 26:3–6 promises perfect peace for those whose minds are stayed on God, and trust in the Lord becomes the steadying strength. In Neville's reading, this is an invitation to awaken the I AM within and revise the self toward serene confidence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse does not command outward events; it invites you to turn inward to the I AM and dwell there until awareness itself becomes a quiet harbor. When the mind stays upon thee, peace pours in as a natural alignment with your true self, for you trust what you are. 'Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.' In Neville's keys, the 'Lord' is your own I AM, the unalterable awareness that underlies every sensation. The lofty city—your bustling thoughts of control and fear—are brought low not by punishment but by your insistence on a steadfast vision of yourself as one with the divine. The feet of the poor and the steps of the needy point to the humbler forces within—obedience, receptivity, and surrender—that smooth the ground of your mind, preparing it for the old edifices to crumble to dust. As you persist in this inner posture, the external drama recedes and the inner kingdom remains securely established.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, revise your sense of self to the I AM and feel the peace rise as you declare, I trust the Lord now. Let that feeling-real anchor carry you through the day.
