Neville Goddard on Job 26:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 26 in context

Scripture Focus

1But Job answered and said,

2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

Job 26:1-3

Biblical Context

Job 26:1-3 questions the value of external help for the powerless and the accuracy of external counsel; it hints that true strength lies beyond outward assurances.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 26:1-3 sounds like a chorus of voices asking what help can be given to the powerless, what strength remains for the arm that has none. But this is not a record of history; it is a mirror of a state of consciousness. “Powerless” and “weakness” are inner dispositions, not outer facts. When a mind narrates external counsel as if it could save the inner self, you are simply hearing old habits argue for limitation. The I AM—the you that perceives and feels—knows this: true assistance does not come from another’s advice; it comes from your own assumption of power. The real counselor is your awareness that already embodies strength, discernment, and truth. So revise the scene by stepping into the role of the one who declares from within what is. Say, inwardly, I AM power. I AM wisdom. I AM the one who makes the thing as it is. Let the outer voices fade as you rest in the certainty that you, and you alone, are the cause and the effect of your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine the inner throne where I AM sits. Repeat softly, 'I am power. I am wisdom. I declare the thing as it is.' Feel the truth in your chest until the sense of limitation relaxes.
