Yearning for Divine Presence

Isaiah 26:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

9With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Isaiah 26:9-10

Biblical Context

Plainly, the verses express a soul longing for God at night and a disciplined seeking in the morning. They also hint that outward judgments reflect inner states rather than producing change from without.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner plane the cry to God in the night becomes a confirmation of your I AM presence. The line about thy judgments is not about external decree but about the inner judgments you allow to rule your mind. When you view the world with its apparent righteousness and injustice, understand the earth as your vibrational field learning through inner movements. The command to seek thee early is the discipline of turning from distraction to inner vigilance, choosing to dwell in awareness before the day asserts its claims. Let favor be shown to the wicked yet he will not learn righteousness reveals that favor separated from the inner state remains ineffective. True learning occurs when the inner man is anchored in the majesty of the LORD, which is your I AM. Thus the persistent longing and early seeking awaken a state of grace within, transforming habits and guiding the world toward your inner righteousness. As you align with this truth, you become both author and witness of every event.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are already in the presence of God; feel the oneness, and let that inner state govern your day by revision whenever doubt appears.
