Job 3:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 3 in context

Scripture Focus

23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Job 3:23-24

Biblical Context

Job voices the ache of feeling hidden and hemmed in by God, with his sighs and roars spilling forth. It signals a moment of confronting unseen mental boundaries within the soul.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job asks in the heat of his cry why light is given to a man whose way is hidden and who seems hedged in by God. The light spoken of is your own conscious awareness, the I AM within. The hedge is not a punitive boundary laid upon you from outside; it is the belief you have about yourself as a person separate from your desired state. To change it, return to the only reality you can inhabit the present awareness of being. Assume the state of the thing desired, feel it as if it is now true, and the outer conditions will confess your inner shift. Let the sighing and the roarings be the surf of an old belief breaking apart; do not chase them. Instead, rest in the conviction that you are the light that perceives. When you imagine from the end, the path is no longer hidden; doors open, and the hedge dissolves, precisely because you have become the I AM that walks through it. Remember imagination creates reality, and you are already what you seek.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the identity of the light within, and revise the sense of being hedged by repeating I am the light; my path is clear, and feel that truth for 2 to 5 minutes.
