Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

22Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

Jeremiah 5:22

Biblical Context

God declares that He has set the boundaries of the sea, and the roaring waves cannot cross them. The verse invites an inner acknowledgment of divine order shaping every circumstance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the pages you read a portrait of consciousness: the LORD's question is not a threat but an invitation to awaken to the I AM that you are. The sand and the sea are not external phenomena; they are the inner boundary you silently decree in your own mind. When you affirm a rock-like boundary in your imagination, the tides of circumstance cannot cross your border. The roaring waves are thoughts moving through your mental sea; they cannot prevail against a fixed image you hold in awareness. This is not control over others but mastery of your inner state. True worship is alignment with the I AM—feeling your presence as permanent, unmoveable, and all-governing. Providence is the natural ripple of a mind that keeps its boundary intact and its attention fixed on the I AM. In this light, fear dissolves as you recognize that creation follows the decree you hold in awareness; you are the boundary, and your imagination is the lawgiver by which life appears.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as an immovable boundary around your inner sea today. When fear arises, revise with 'In the I AM I stand, and the waves obey my decree,' and feel the calm certainty settle.
