Glory Before the Darkness

Jeremiah 13:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

16Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Jeremiah 13:16

Biblical Context

The verse urges you to glorify the LORD in your inner life before hardship arrives; lack of alignment invites darkness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks to the inner self, where the LORD your God is the I AM, the living awareness you identify as. Glory, in this sense, is the steady alignment with the One Power you are right now, not a distant praise. The call to give glory before He causes darkness means secure your state of consciousness before outer appearances shift. The “darkness” and “dark mountains” are inner movements—fear, doubt, and the sense of separation—that cause you to stumble when you look for light from outside. If you cling to light while the inner weather changes, you invite the shadow of death and gross darkness into your life. Yet the remedy is simple: assume the truth of the I AM now; declare that you are the glory of God in this moment. By this assumption, you remain in the light even as conditions turn, for you are not at the mercy of appearances but of your own consciousness. Let the presence of the I AM fill your thoughts, feelings, and body until fear dissolves into clarity and you walk freely through any inner or outer dark.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and quietly affirm, 'I am the glory of the LORD my God now.' Feel the inner light expanding, as you walk through the imagined dark mountains with the certainty of the I AM sustaining you.
