Job 23:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 23 in context

Scripture Focus

12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:12

Biblical Context

Job declares steadfast obedience to the divine command, valuing the words of God above his own hunger. He places the inner law above physical sustenance.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the 'commandment of his lips' is the living law within. Job’s refusal to 'go back' from that command means he refuses to starve his consciousness for any thought not issued by the I AM. The 'words of his mouth' are your inner decrees, the steady narrator of being. When you esteem them above your physical food, you are not denying appetite but sanctifying it, letting the inner nourishment feed the entire self. In Neville's terms, you turn away from outer hunger and attend to the inner diet; you practice the quiet art of assuming the truth of the command, and you will discover that your world aligns with the state you maintain. The command is not punishment but the direction of life; its frequency becomes reality. Your imagination is the instrument by which the inner word becomes external form. The more constant you are in the practice, the more your body follows the leadership of the I AM, and hunger becomes secondary to the felt reality of the inner law.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner command as your daily bread, feeling the sense of fullness as the word of God sustains you. Let the imagined feeling last until hunger resolves.
