Neville Goddard on Job 13:25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 13 in context

Scripture Focus

25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

Job 13:25

Biblical Context

The verse probes whether you will break a leaf blown by the wind or chase after dry stubble. It hints at the futility of clinging to external, fleeting conditions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job's question invites a shift from reacting to inwardly recognized states. The leaf driven to and fro is not a warring world need; it is a symbol of a changing condition I have identified with. The dry stubble is a stale conclusion I have permitted to stand. I am the I AM, the steady witness who remains unmoved by gusts of thought. When I mistake a changing scene for reality, I break the leaf and chase the stubble; but true sight comes when I turn inward and affirm that I am consciousness that remains constant while appearances pass. The outer events are not battles to be fought; they are images produced by the state I accept within. By choosing the inner truth, I revise the scene, and the leaf stops breaking, the wind quiets, and the stubble loses its authority. I do not chase externalities; I inhabit the awareness that cannot be shaken. In that quiet, the outer becomes a faithful reflection of the inner decree.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, breathe out tension, and say, I AM the unshakable observer. Revise the scene by declaring that the leaf and wind are images in consciousness, already resolved in me, and feel it real.
