Past Days, New Inner Purpose
Job 17:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job says his days are past, his purposes broken off, and even the thoughts of his heart seem severed. It expresses a crisis of forward motion and the end of an old self.
Neville's Inner Vision
In a Neville Goddard inspired reading, the verse is not a resignation but a declaration of a state. Job names a consciousness that has identified with loss, believing that days, purposes, and inner thoughts are irrevocably past. Yet in this act you glimpse the mechanism of creation: the I AM, your awareness, is the one attending to every thought. When you say 'my days are past,' you are describing the old state of mind that once imagined a future and formed plans. 'My purposes are broken off' reveals a belief that intention has ceased; 'the thoughts of my heart' signals inner imagery operating as reality. The truth is that the I AM remains unmoved by the changing weather of circumstance; imagination is the instrument that redefines time and aim. By entering into a new assumption—claiming that the I AM now animates fresh days, purposes, and thoughts—you displace the old, and inner activity realigns with a future you desire. Practicing persistent feeling and revision makes the next scene emerge as the new inner life you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Assume the state that the old days are past. Revise the image into a vision of ongoing creation and feel the I AM alive directing your next move.
