From Thorns to Harvest

Isaiah 7:24-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

24With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
Isaiah 7:24-25

Biblical Context

The land is overrun with briers and thorns. Yet it will be tilled and used for oxen, turning desolation into productive harvest.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's frame, the land stands for your inner state, and briers and thorns are beliefs that choke your sense of abundance. The shift comes when you 'dig with the mattock' of deliberate attention, trimming fear and old judgments until the ground of your mind is cleared. As you persist, the ground becomes fit for the oxen and cattle—your energies moving in the right channels. Arrows and bows signal opportunities pressing into your field; their motion is not threat but invitation to act. The fear of briers dissolves into trust that you can shape experience by conscious state, not by external decree. Exile and return fade into a simple practice: return to your inner ground and claim it as cultivated soil. Judgment and accountability become moments of choosing a state you will inhabit until it manifests as life. This is the spiritual economy: imagination as the creator of reality, transforming desolation into harvest here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the land of your life is already tilled and fruitful; feel the mattock resting in your hand and the sense of oxen moving freely. Hold that feeling for a minute, then revise any fear by affirming, 'I am the ground of abundance, and this field yields now.'
