Neville Goddard on Isaiah 45:9-11 - 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?

10Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

11Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Isaiah 45:9-11

Biblical Context

The passage rebukes striving with the Creator and asserts His sovereign order. It invites humble inquiry into the future with divine guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner workshop of consciousness, you are the clay and the Potter—neither fight nor resist the other. When you feel the impulse to say, 'What makest thou?' you are remembering you have separated from the I AM. The verse invites you to ask me of things to come and to command ye me by aligning your inner image with the end you desire. Your work is the energetic pattern of feeling you hold about tomorrow; revise that pattern until it matches the reality you seek as already realized. Do not strive with the Maker by arguing with life; instead, cultivate meek certainty that you and the Creator are one and that guidance follows your settled conviction. The outward world becomes the natural expression of your inward state when you consent to the flow of divine order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the end you seek is already real: 'I am the Potter; I am guided by the I AM.' Feel the next scene arriving as present in your imagination.
