Neville Goddard on Job 21:7-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 21 in context

Scripture Focus

7Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

8Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

9Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

11They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

12They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

Job 21:7-13

Biblical Context

The text notes that the wicked appear to prosper, living long and powerful lives with secure homes and music-filled days, only to die still amid outward wealth. It contrasts outward success with the broader questions of righteousness and divine justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the questioner who wonders where God is in their thriving, I answer by turning your gaze inward. The outward wealth and long life of the wicked are but a mirror of the inner state your belief has wrought. The I AM within you is not moved by appearances; it is the energy that gives form. When you witness another’s abundance, do not measure your worth by it; instead revise to the assumption that your own life reflects your inner conviction of safety and sufficiency. If you believe your days will be brief, or you are at risk, you invite those conditions to clothe your experience. But if you declare, I AM the wealth I desire; I AM the health that sustains me; I AM safely guided, you begin to rearrange events into alignment with that truth. The apparent prosperity of the wicked only tests your faith; it does not prove a lack in you. Your imagination, rightly employed, is the true shepherd of your life, guiding every step toward lasting abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume your life now reflects abundance. Revise any sense of lack by affirming that I AM wealth, I AM safety, and I AM guided in every moment until it feels real.
