Isles of Inner Praise
Isaiah 42:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls people to praise God from distant places. It suggests that worship begins within the inner state of awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah speaks of the islands praising the Lord, but in the Neville manner the islands are the hidden harbors of your own consciousness. The act of calling glory to the LORD is not an external command to perform, but a shift in the I AM, the unwavering awareness you are. When you acknowledge that the LORD dwells as your true self, the world scripts itself to reflect that light. Praise becomes a condition of being, not a ritual of doing; the outer consonance follows the inner declaration. To declare His praise in the islands is to treat every fragment of doubt, every distant circumstance, as a surface ripple that arises from a single, central reality—your inner awareness. You revise by assuming that the inner mind already glorifies God, and you feel that realization as present tense fact. In that rebooted state, the apparent separation between you and the island becomes an illusion dissolved by the I AM. Worship thus shifts from striving to knowing, and the outer scene naturally aligns with the inner truth.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of already praising within your inner islands. Revise every sense of lack until it feels real.
