Inner Tongue of the Learned
Isaiah 50:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 50 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 50:4 declares that the speaker is given the tongue of the learned to speak a word in season to the weary, with daily waking and inner listening. It highlights the inner discipline of hearing and responding with faithful, timely speech.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your consciousness is the prophet; the 'tongue of the learned' is your trained I AM speaking through the imagination. The verse describes a state, not a historical event, in which you wake to inner hearing and then release words that comfort the weary within and without. The 'Lord GOD' awakening morning by morning is your disciplined attention that tunes your inner ear to hear as the learned. The tongue is not a tool of pride but a creative instrument of awareness, formed by repetition of assumed truths until they feel natural. When you assume the feeling that you already know the right word, the right response arises at the moment of need. The weary are your forgotten or anxious parts; your spoken word guides them back to stillness because it proceeds from the awareness of your true identity. Practice obedience and faithfulness by listening for inner promptings and revising your thoughts until your words align with the calm, certain voice you already are. In time, your life becomes the healing season you profess, for the I AM speaks through you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Tonight, assume the inner state of the learned tongue. Tomorrow morning, listen for the first word that arises to comfort the weary and speak it with faith.
