Neville Goddard on Isaiah 32:2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 32 in context

Scripture Focus

2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Isaiah 32:2

Biblical Context

It presents a man who acts as a shelter from wind and storm. He is like rivers of water in a dry place and the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'man' is a state of consciousness, your very I AM. The wind and tempest are not external forces but shifting thoughts and fears that arise in awareness. When you dwell as the shelter, you stop chasing conditions and allow the stillness of your presence to prevail. The rivers of water in a dry place become living ideas that nourish and refresh the mind, a continuous supply of vitality flowing from within. The shadow of a great rock in a weary land is your mental shade, the quiet protection your awareness casts over every heat and hurry. This is Providence: not a distant act of fate, but the constant mercy of your own consciousness, ever-ready to shelter and replenish. Practicing this, you will discover that the world you perceived as storm is softened by the sense of I AM, until life itself becomes shelter, guidance, and hope.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and breathe into the certainty: I am the shelter. Then imagine yourself as the shadow of a great rock, while rivers of living water flow through a dry land, refreshing every corner of your mind.
