Covenant Eyes, Inner Purity

Job 31:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 31 in context

Scripture Focus

1I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Job 31:1-2

Biblical Context

Job declares a covenant with his eyes to refrain from thoughts of a maid, and asks what portion of God corresponds to such thoughts.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, the verse is not a rule about restriction, but a statement of inner alignment. The 'eyes' covenant is a decision of your I AM to stop letting outer images dictate your inner weather. When you ask, 'what portion of God is there from above?' you are not seeking a distant decree; you are awakening to the truth that the inheritance of the Almighty resides in the consciousness you already are. Thoughts are images cast by your imagination, and your current feeling-state fashions your reality. By refusing to dwell on a maid, you are re-choosing the image you hold in mind—the costly, pure possibility of your divine nature. The covenant becomes a law of that awareness, signaling that you trust the higher portion within, not the transient lure of the senses. In practice, you shift from external impression to inner I AM, and the 'above' and 'on high' begin to shine as your present awareness. As you persist, you will see the outer world rearrange to reflect the inward decision.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare 'I AM the I AM; I choose what I gaze upon,' then revise any stray thought by replacing it with a bright, pure image and feel it real.
