Read Job 38 in context

27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

Job 38:26-27

Biblical Context

The verses describe rain falling on earth where no man is, refreshing desolate places and inviting new growth. It presents providence as an inner movement of awareness that yields renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Job 38 26 27 as a whisper to your own I AM within. The rain that falls on earth where no man is speaks of an inner weather system that answers to consciousness, not to outward circumstances. The desolate ground is the mind that has grown still and barren in appearance; the bud of the tender herb is a living idea just waiting for expression. When you hear the sound of rain, you are not praying to a distant climate; you are acknowledging that God the I AM is always watering, always giving birth to order out of confusion. This is Neville Goddard style: imagination creates reality. Therefore you must assume the feeling that you are the rain, that the moisture of awareness is already refreshing the surface of your thoughts, even before any outer sign appears. Persist in this inner weather, and the wilderness of your mind becomes fertile; the bud breaks; growth comes forth in form according to your assumed inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the rain within. In your mind, stand in the wilderness and declare that you are the rain that waters desolate ground; feel the bud sprout.
