The Inner Call Of Job 13:20-24

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s cry is not a demand upon a distant God, but a turning of attention to the I AM within. The two 'do nots' are the mind’s reluctance to feel presence and its fear of pain. When you withdraw the hand of attention or let dread rule, you imagine separation. The call and the answer describe a living dialogue inside: you call, and the awareness answers; you listen, and you speak, and the inner state reorganizes itself as you accept what you are discovering. Asking 'How many are mine iniquities?' becomes a tool for self-knowledge, not guilt; it invites you to name the thoughts, beliefs, and images that have built walls between you and God. The face of God is never hidden from the I AM; it is your own fear-laden assumption that hides. In the end, Job’s statement is a practice: rest in the certainty that you are seen by the one I AM, revise the fear, forgive what you have titled sin, and let the inner conversation dissolve the enemy you have imagined.
