Neville Goddard on Isaiah 26:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

7The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

Isaiah 26:7-8

Biblical Context

The verse presents the just as walking in uprightness and God weighing their path; it also expresses waiting for God's judgments and a longing to remember and name God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Isaiah 26:7-8 as an inner map: the 'way of the just' is not a distant rule but your present state of consciousness, naturally upright. Thou, most upright, is the I AM within you weighing the path you walk, not by external measurement but by inner alignment and balance. When you align with the 'way of thy judgments,' you are not trapped in time but surrendering to the inner discernment that arises when you quiet the mind. The line 'the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee' becomes a daily vow: your longing to remember the Presence—the name of God as your own awareness—stays awake in every choice. Your assumption is clear: I am the upright path because God weighs my steps with love. You revise anything contrary—doubt, fear, impatience—until you feel the certainty of that verdict as real now. Imagination is the tool; through felt certainty, you manifest a life that reflects the inner judgment you have embraced.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and affirm: I am the upright path weighed by God; I remember His Name now. If doubt arises, revise it by declaring, I am the I AM, and feel that inner verdict settling in as fact.
