Inner Justice Of Job 21:14-20

Job 21:14-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 21 in context

Scripture Focus

14Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
16Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Job 21:14-20

Biblical Context

The passage portrays the wicked declaring divinity distant and questioning the value of serving or praying. It implies that their sorrow and destruction arise from their own defiant choices.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the outer talk of depart from us and what is the Almighty is not an attack on God but a map of inner resistance. When you hear depart from us, listen for a moment as you would listen to a dream about your awareness. The mind that asks What profit should we have if we pray is the mind betting against its own communion with God. The candle of the wicked is said to be put out, yet this is the inner weather when life is lived as if God were distant. The line about destruction reveals the inward consequence of a separated consciousness. Read through Neville's practice and you will see these statements as shapes of consciousness. To revise is to return to the assumption that the I AM is present, that divine wisdom attends every condition, and that what seems like judgment is the appearance of inner belief in action. When you hold the inner truth I AM one with God now, you ignite the inner candle and watch the outer conditions realign to reflect that state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM is present as your sole power. Revise any line of separation to I AM with God now, and feel your inner light brighten with each breath.
