Neville Goddard on Job 26:1-4 - 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?

4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Job 26:1-4

Biblical Context

Job answers by pointing out that such counselors cannot help the powerless or strengthen the weak, and he questions the source and value of their words. He asserts that true wisdom comes from an inner source, not from outward authority.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Job's rebuke becomes a turning inward. The phrases 'without power' and 'arm that hath no strength' reveal a life that has separated itself from its inner center. The question 'To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?' invites us to notice that every word moving the outer scene springs from our own consciousness. If your state of awareness believes itself powerless, outer counsel will always appear potent, yet without genuine power. The real source of influence is the inner state you identify with; true wisdom flows when you yield to the inner divine voice rather than to the echo of others. Humility is not self-debasement but willingness to let the I AM govern your responses. The meek receive guidance because they stop counting on surface authority and begin living from the inner light that animates all things. When you align with that inner wisdom, external counsel is seen as a reflection of your current state, and you can revise your world by changing your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is the source of power in every situation. Revise external counsel by affirming, I AM the source of all wisdom, and feel the inner alignment now.
