Inner Plowman's Quiet Counsel

Isaiah 28:23-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 28 in context

Scripture Focus

23Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
27For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
29This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
Isaiah 28:23-29

Biblical Context

Isaiah 28:23-29 presents divine instruction as a patient agricultural process: soil is prepared, seeds are planted in order, and growth comes by God’s discreet guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this oracle is your inner field. The plowman is your will under the I AM’s counsel; he tills with measure, clearing the ground and placing each seed at its appointed time. The fitches and cummin of your thoughts are not crushed by brute force, but parted by a staff: a simple, attentive discipline that reveals truth. Bread corn is bruised not by violence, but by a conscious, loving pressure that yields balance and nourishment. This entire work comes from the LORD of hosts—Source of your life—wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. So turn within and observe: your mind is being prepared, seeds of clarity sown, and every action arises from this inward order. When you acknowledge this, you will see your life align to the divinely planted pattern, not by effort alone but by the gentle discipline of your inner ground.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner plowman at work; declare, I AM cultivating my mind with discretion. Feel the ground respond as seeds of clarity settle in their appointed places, guided by the unseen hand within.
