Beyond Search: Job 11:7-11

Job 11:7-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 11 in context

Scripture Focus

7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
Job 11:7-11

Biblical Context

The passage questions human ability to comprehend God and asserts that His wisdom is beyond measurement or control by anyone. It also notes that God sees all and acts beyond human hindrance, evaluating hearts and deeds.

Neville's Inner Vision

What the scripture marks as a boundary to human search is really a beckoning to the inner man. It asks whether the mind can “find God” by analysis, yet the answer is found in the awareness that you are the I AM—not the mind’s object of knowledge, but the very knowing itself. God is described as high as heaven and deeper than hell not to frighten you, but to reveal that His reality exceeds every measure your senses can impose. The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea—the endless span of your own consciousness when you cease mapping God outside and begin feeling Him within. If He cut off or gather together, who can hinder Him? The truth is that nothing in your experience can hinder the living, knowing presence that you are when you align with it. He knows vain thoughts and sees wickedness, and yet He attends to the truth of your being. So revise your posture: drop the search for proof and affirm that you already know, by virtue of being the I AM, the Infinite’s discernment guiding every choice.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the feeling that you already know the truth of God within you; spend 2–3 minutes feeling the I AM guiding every decision, and revise any sense of lack by declaring, 'I am the Infinite knowing itself.'
