The Fear Behind Worship
Job 1:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Satan questions Job's motive, asking if his fear of God is for nothing. The verse invites inner inspection: is worship born of reward-seeking or of a pure awareness?
Neville's Inner Vision
Job 1:9 presents a moment in which the mind measures its devotion by fear of loss. In Neville’s terms, Job is your state of consciousness, and Satan is the doubt that arises when you imagine yourself as separate from the I AM. The question asks whether your reverence for God is genuine or merely a reaction to reward. The path forward is to identify with the I AM here and now, to revise fear as a mis-timed thought, and to feel-as-if your life is already inseparably favored by God. When you persist in that recognition, the inner adversary loses its power, and obedience becomes an effortless alignment with your true nature. Your worship becomes not a bartered commodity but a natural expression of unity with the All. Practice the stance of complete trust—imagine and feel that you are already loved, protected, and guided by the I AM, regardless of circumstance.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I am the I AM; there is nothing feared from God. Close your eyes, repeat 'I am one with the I AM' and imagine the Lord speaking within you, confirming your belief that fear cannot touch your true worship.
