I AM Sustains the Skin of Faith
Job 19:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job describes extreme physical wasting and a near escape. The imagery conveys a sense of being pressed to the edge, yet not finally destroyed.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awake man or woman, Job’s cry is not a history of bones and teeth, but a description of a state of consciousness in which appetite, fear, and hope cling to one another. The bone that cleaveth to the skin is the stubborn sense of limitation that believes it must hold on to every form. The escape by the skin of the teeth is the moment a new awareness slips through the narrow seam of belief, proving that what you fear you’ve already believed into existence. In this scripture, God is not outside but the I AM within you, the aliveness that animates every sensation. When you refuse to be ruled by the outer image, you revise with the assumption that you are sustained by the living presence that you name I AM. The body may tremble, yet your inner state can be nourished by faith, patience, and the imaginative act of claiming vitality as already real.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that you are sustained by the I AM—feel the inner support as if your life were already complete; revise the scene until lack dissolves and vitality feels real.
