Ostrich Wisdom and the I AM
Job 39:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse frames the ostrich as lacking wisdom, pointing to a discernment that seems absent. It invites us to recognize wisdom as an inner divine attribute we can access.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, Job 39:17 is not about a mute bird but a state of consciousness that believes it is without light. God is not withholding wisdom from the ostrich or from you; rather, a habit of attention has identified with lack. The inner reality remains intact: wisdom is the primal function of consciousness itself. When you notice yourself or another as deprived of understanding, you are being invited to revise that assumption. Assume now that the I AM has imparted understanding into every moment, and feel the thought, sensation, and inner guidance that flows from that truth. In practice, your decisions become steadier, your discernment clearer, and your actions align with a deeper knowing. Do not battle appearances; simply change the premise, and the world of effects follows the changed inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm I AM wisdom itself; God has imparted me understanding now. Then imagine a warm inner light filling your chest and guiding your next decision.
