River Peace Through Obedience

Isaiah 48:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

18O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Isaiah 48:18-19

Biblical Context

The verse urges heed to divine commandments. Obedience would bring peace as a river and a plentiful, secure seed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the commandment as the inner law you have chosen to live by in consciousness. When you align with that inner order, peace pours through you like a river; your sense of rightness expands, rolling in waves across your days. What you call your seed becomes the visible harvest of your state—your relationships, health, and purposes multiplying as grains of sand; your name—the identity you carry in mind—remains intact in the divine record because you stand in the truth of your I AM. A lack of heed is not punishment but a misalignment of attention, a momentary forgetting of who you are. Return to that inner law, and the rivers return, the waves rise, and your offspring flourish.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume you have heeded the inner commandment by feeling the peace as a river now. Dwell in that sensation and imagine your life blooming with abundant offspring.
