The I AM's Directing Steps
Jeremiah 10:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah acknowledges that the path of man is not self-directed and asks for correction with discernment rather than anger, while praying for mercy on those who neglect God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Interpret Jeremiah 10:23-25 as a message to the inner man. The verse says the way of man is not in himself, and that direction comes not from outward calculation but from the I AM within. When you ask for correction, do so with judgment, yet guard your life from the anger that crushes you into nothingness. In Neville's language: you are not subject to circumstance; you are the awareness that gives form to circumstance. The discipline of inner alignment emerges as you refine your inner state until your thoughts and feelings are steady, compassionate, and clear. The heathen and the families are projections of ignored possibilities within you—parts of mind that know not the living presence. Pouring out fury is not wrath to destroy, but the cleansing heat of clarified awareness dissolving mistaken beliefs that have fed separation. Exile and return become your cycles of belief and revision: you leave the belief in lack and come home to the I AM, which restores habitation to fullness. In this moment, invite correction as mercy; imagine that every step is guided by the divine I AM, and you will walk straight.
Practice This Now
Assume the state I AM the Directing Power within me and revise the sense that you walk by outward plans alone. Feel it real that inner wisdom governs each step and that correction comes as mercy from the I AM.
