Inner Forge of the I AM

Isaiah 54:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 54 in context

Scripture Focus

16Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
Isaiah 54:16

Biblical Context

The verse states that God created both the smith who forges tools and the waster who destroys; both are part of the divine order within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the Creator is not distant but the I AM within you, and every instrument that appears in your life is a thought-form you have invited. The 'smith' and the 'waster' are not persons but faculties of your own mind: the smith forges through disciplined imagination, the waster dissolves old forms of limitation. When you perceive a problem, you are not at the mercy of circumstance; you are witnessing the working of your inner craftsman, perfectly aligned to your present assumption. By acknowledging that both tool and dissolution come from the same divine source, you liberate the power to redesign your world. The key is not to resist change but to realize that the very energy that seems to threaten is simply a part of the process by which you re-create your life. Therefore, imagine yourself already in possession of the instrument you need; feel the tool in your hand and the secure conviction that the old pattern is dissolving by your inner decision. In that moment, your life reflects the creative act of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the state that you already possess the instrument to handle the situation, and feel it real as you breathe. Observe the old pattern dissolving as the inner smith works.
