Inner Sun, Inner Worship
Job 31:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 31:26-27 speaks of outer brightness (sun and moon) potentially enticing the heart and prompting outward rites; it warns against worshiping appearances and urges inner fidelity to true worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
When Job speaks of beholding the sun and the moon, he is naming outer bright images that seem to prove reality’s shape. Neville teaches that such images are not separate powers but expressions of your own consciousness. To say ‘my heart hath been secretly enticed’ is to acknowledge the mind’s habit of treating appearances as if they were causes; to kiss the hand is to bow to forms rather than to the I AM behind form. The temptation is idolatry—worshipping signs rather than the governor of signs. The antidote is simple: recognize that you are the I AM, the awareness that imagines and sustains your world; your inner state produces every birth and event. When you refuse to surrender to outer brightness, you maintain true worship by keeping your attention on the one power within—your own consciousness. In that light, sun and moon lose their claim to rule you; they become mere reflections of your own inner light. Obedience and faithfulness mean choosing to dwell in the inner kingdom, where you are the source and not the sign.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: I am the I AM, the sun and moon within me; nothing outside has power over my inner state. Feel that truth as real in your chest, and let any impulse to worship outward signs dissolve.
