Neville Goddard on Job 37:23-24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 37 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

24Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

Job 37:23-24

Biblical Context

The passage suggests God cannot be fully known, yet He is supreme in power, judgment, and justice, and He does not afflict; people fear Him, and earthly wisdom does not secure His regard.

Neville's Inner Vision

Touching the Almighty, as spoken in Job 37:23-24, is a invitation to recognize the Almighty not as a distant figure but as the I AM within your own consciousness. The power, judgment, and justice mentioned are the inner qualities of awareness, active in your life when you align with the truth that you are the I AM. The line about not afflicting becomes a statement of inner law: when you dwell in this inner sovereignty, experiences mirror balance and right measure. Fear arises when you forget this governor of your world; wisdom of heart, not cleverness of mind, is what the divine respects—sincerity of present awareness. Thus outer events reflect your inner state. By assuming the consciousness of the Almighty within, you revise experience itself. Imagination creates reality; when you inhabit this inner sovereignty, your life unfolds with power, justice, and providence that you, and you alone, govern.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the Almighty within me; I govern every event now.' Feel that inner power directing your life and dwell there until the sense of separation vanishes.
