Inner Softening and Divine Provocation
Job 23:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job says God softens his heart and the Almighty troubles him. The line presents inner tenderness coexisting with pressure as a lived experience of the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job's line invites us into the I AM within. God maketh my heart soft signals a shift in the state of consciousness: awareness itself softens when we acknowledge the I AM. The Almighty troubleth me is not punishment but the inner weather that nudges revision of self-belief. In Neville's method, trials arise to awaken, not condemn. Rather than resisting, assume the truth you already seek: you are the softened heart, and the divine presence is at hand, stirring the mind to awaken. Feel it real: imagine the heart becoming tender, while the sense of separation shifts into unity with God. Use the disturbance as a signal to reframe your story from fear to faith, from lack to abundance in consciousness. Sit with the vision until your inner state and your outer experience align; the outer becomes the echo of your inner I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the state of a softened heart now; feel it real as you declare, I am the I AM, guided by divine presence. Let that inner feeling precede outer shifts and watch your world unfold to match your inner alignment.
