Inner Boundaries of Life
Job 14:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text declares that God fixes a person's days and bounds; it then invites us to rest and accept the appointed day rather than fret over time.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your days are not marching to a cold clock, but cast in the luminous awareness of the I AM. When you believe life is ruled by external time, you become the hireling pacing a shift, anxious for its end; but turn from that illusion and acknowledge the inner decree that set your bounds. In this light, Job's verses reveal a fixed measure of consciousness rather than a fate measured by minutes. The 'days' and 'months' are the rhythm of your inner state, and the rest you crave comes as you align with that rhythm, not by bending time to your will, but by yielding to the inner end already written. The Father within knows precisely when a moment completes its work; your task is to dwell in the assumption that your day is accomplished in consciousness and to live from that completed state. Imagination becomes reality as you hold to the feeling that the appointed day is present now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume the days are fixed by the I AM. Silently repeat, 'My day is written in God and I feel it real now.'
