Inner Worship Through Surrender

Job 1:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 1 in context

Scripture Focus

20Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job 1:20

Biblical Context

Job rises, rents his mantle, shaves his head, and falls to the ground in mourning, then worships. This shows a turning of sorrow into reverent contact with the divine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s outward acts in 1:20 disclose the inner drama of your mind: when the outer mantle is rent and the old form shaved away, the soul stoops to the ground, not in despair, but in an act of quiet worship. In the Neville lens, Job is not a person in a history book; he is a state of consciousness aware of itself. The mantle torn symbolizes the release of an identity built on external appearances; shaving the head signifies stripping away what you thought you were so that you can be what you truly are—awareness, the I AM. Falling down upon the ground is the entire being surrendering to the only Power you know: God within. Worship is the inner alignment, the recognition that all images of lack are but dreams dissolving before the unwavering light of consciousness. Adversity becomes a door through which you may return to your original state of I AM presence. Trust that your imagination creates reality; what Job enacts outwardly, you enact inwardly, by choosing the end now and dwelling as if it is already so.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are already worshipping, grounded in the I AM within. Revise the sense of lack by feeling-it-real that your desire is complete.
