Neville Goddard on Isaiah 45:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 45 in context

Scripture Focus

9Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

Isaiah 45:9

Biblical Context

Isaiah 45:9 warns against contending with the One who fashions us. It points to the order between the clay and the potter, inviting acceptance of inner guidance rather than prideful resistance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 45:9 is not about clay resisting a distant craftsman; it unveils your inner state. When you strenuously argue with the Maker, you assume separation from the I AM that shapes your life. The potsherd and the potsherds of the earth symbolize your conditioned self clashing with the innate order of consciousness. Pride and self-exaltation pretend you are independent of your own imaginative power. The true law is one of orderly creation: your world forms according to the state of your consciousness. Rather than punish, this verse invites a revision of belief—acknowledging that you are the imagination through which all forms come into being. To align, you must yield to the maker’s hand, imagining yourself already formed by divine intention. Embrace the feeling that you are both clay and creator within the singular I AM, dissolving resistance into harmonious alignment with your inner design.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and feel yourself as clay in the Potter's hands. Silently declare, 'I am the clay; I am the maker; I am one with the I AM,' and dwell in the sensation of being shaped into a divine idea.
