Inner Peaceful Habitation
Isaiah 32:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 32 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes an inner turning: judgment settles in the wilderness of mind, while righteousness remains in the fruitful field of life. From this inner righteousness comes peace, quietness, and lasting assurance for those who dwell there.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah's words are a map of the soul's interior, not a chart of lands. Judgment dwelling in the wilderness is your discernment turning toward thought-forms that no longer serve you; it is the act of seeing through fear and habit, choosing alignment with the I AM. Righteousness remaining in the fruitful field is the steady state of right relation within consciousness—the inner principle that bears fruit in thought, feeling, and choice. The work of righteousness is peace: when your inner life is governed by what is just and true, the mind settles into a quiet, untroubled harmony. The effect of righteousness is quietness and assurance forever. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation—the sense that your entire inner weather is calm; in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places—an unshakeable sanctuary within you. Rest there, and know you are already in the place your heart yearns for.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: I am the righteousness that creates peace. See yourself dwelling in a peaceable habitation with quiet resting places within, and feel the assurance rise as your constant reality.
