Inner Judgments And Return

Job 12:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 12 in context

Scripture Focus

23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
Job 12:23-25

Biblical Context

The passage presents God as the moving force behind nations, turning minds and circumstances; when the inner center shifts, people wander in darkness and stumble.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job is speaking of the one Power within you, the I AM, which governs outward events by inner states. When the heart of the chief—your primary idea of yourself as ruler—is removed, your mind wanders without direction, and darkness seems to harden around you. This is not punishment but a call to revision: the nations that appear in your life are simply thoughts rising and fading in your awareness. As you persist in identifying with a higher, all-encompassing I AM, you re-center your consciousness and the wandering becomes a clarified path; the dark hours become illumination by your own decision. The moment you refuse to identify with lack and declare, 'I AM the ruler of my world,' light returns and the way reveals itself. Thus exile becomes a return, a reminder that you are the mind that creates.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM the center of my world' and feel it real. Then revise any sense of wandering into a clear path guided by that inner I AM.
