Inner Mastery of Life's Rocks

Job 28:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 28 in context

Scripture Focus

9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
Job 28:9-11

Biblical Context

Job 28:9–11 depicts God’s controlling presence over the visible world—touching the rock, overturning mountains, directing rivers—and it ends with the light of truth shining on what was hidden.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the 'rock' is your fixed self-concept; to putteth forth his hand upon the rock is to dare an inner act of attention. When you dwell on a circumstance with the feeling that your I AM can rearrange its foundations, you overturn the mountains by the roots—your stubborn conditions yield not by struggle, but by the depth of inner conviction. To cutteth out rivers among the rocks is to carve new channels in your life through the disciplined imagination—envision the outcome as already complete, and let trial stream into a path that nourishes your desired result. His eye seeth every precious thing—awareness perceives value in every situation; you notice the hidden riches within even the most rigid scene. He bindeth the floods from overflowing—by choosing where your attention races you set bounds to emotional surges. And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light—the unseen motive, the dormant insight, the solution, are revealed when you stand in the light of your I AM. Your present condition is a projection awaiting revision by consciousness.

Practice This Now

Choose a current obstacle. Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM that governs this situation; as I assume it is already done, this rock yields and a new channel opens.' Then, feel it real by mentally walking the new path.
