Neville Goddard on Job 31:24-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 31 in context

Scripture Focus

24If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

26If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

Job 31:24-28

Biblical Context

Job 31:24-28 warns that making gold or wealth one's confidence is an idol, and being enticed by wealth or earthly signs denies the God above.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM lens, the scene reveals that wealth is a state of consciousness, not an external possession. When gold becomes the hoped-for security, the mind splits and the truth of the self— the God above within— is forgotten. The sun and moon in the text symbolize outer proofs that can distract; the real judge is the inner law of awareness, waking you from dependence on form to trust in the I AM. To reinterpret, place the center of gravity in the higher identity, and imagine wealth as the outward sign of the God moving through you, never as the source. The effect upon consciousness is immediate: release fear, align with presence, and let abundance arise as a natural expression of the I AM rather than a possession to be secured.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, rest in the I AM, and declare that wealth is a symbol, not the source. Revise the belief that gold is your confidence by feeling the I AM as your security until it feels real.
