Read Job 37 in context

Scripture Focus

22Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Job 37:22-23

Biblical Context

The verses announce God's awe-inspiring power and inscrutable nature; He is powerful and just, yet not arbitrary toward the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the text names a 'terrible majesty' that comes from the north and then declares that touching the Almighty, we cannot find Him out. In Neville's terms, these lines point to the inner weather of your consciousness. The 'north' is the cold, dispassionate urge of mental calculation; the 'terrible majesty' is the awe-filled awareness that your I AM is not small nor easily profaned by appearances. When you assume the state of God—recognize that power, judgment, and abundant justice are not outside you but are the very function of your own awareness—you discover that you cannot exhaust Him by analysis. He is excellent in power and justice, yet He will not afflict the righteous who stand in love and right alignment with the I AM. Your task is to reverse the sense that you are at the mercy of distant circumstance. Instead, you learn to dwell in the currency of feeling: I AM the power that authorizes every event; I am the keeper of perfect balance. As you hold this, the harshness of 'terrible majesty' softens into a guiding, inner order.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit comfortably, breathe into the idea that the I AM is the weather of your mind; declare silently, 'I am that I AM; I govern this moment.' Then revise any sense of affliction into opportunity by affirming the Almighty within you.
