Inner Winds of Job 1:19
Job 1:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A great wind comes from the wilderness, smiting the house and taking the young men. One survivor remains to tell the tale.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader of the heart, the wind is not an external assault but a gust of belief rearranging the inner landscape. The four corners are the four habits of mind you shelter—doubt, pride, fear, hope. When the wind tears down the house, it is your old identity collapsing under the pressure of a new assumption. Yet the I AM, your essential awareness, remains intact—not dying, but unseen behind the scene. The line 'I only am escaped alone to tell thee' invites you to interpret: you are alive to revise, to awaken a truer self. The event is not happening to you from without but arising from an inner state you once believed was you. If you choose, you can reinterpret it as the moment a new consciousness is born. By choosing a state of continuity, provision, and peace, you can feel the old structure fall away and a higher vision take its place. The storm becomes a door; you pass through by declaring, I AM, I choose this new vision, and I let it be real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: say, 'The wind dissolves the old self; I am the I AM, unshaken.' Then feel it real by imagining the room quieting as the new consciousness stands.
