The Inner Measure of Creation
Isaiah 40:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 40:12 portrays the divine as the one who measures waters, skies, dust, and mountains with exact proportion. It reveals a cosmos ordered by providence that responds to divine precision.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah's invitation to measure is not a request for distance but a command to examine the state of your consciousness. The waters you fear, the heavens you seek to command, the dust you deem insignificant, the mountains you call obstacles—these are not out there; they are internal dispositions, the manner in which you hold attention, belief, and feeling. When you read, 'Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand?' you are being asked to see that your own I AM is the measure by which all things are arranged. The span by which heaven is meted is the length of your intention. The dust of the earth in a measure, the mountains weighed in scales—these are the degrees of conviction you allow in your mind. If you would alter your world, you must alter your inner scale and balance. Rest in the realization that you are the one who imagines and thus creates; your awareness is the universe's ruler. Trust the idea that order follows belief, and watch a shift occur in your external scene as you adjust the inner measure.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is the measuring hand. In a brief inner scene, feel the outcome already present and let that certainty weigh the situation into alignment.
