Valley Strength Ignited
Job 39:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts a creature moving through a valley, rejoicing in its own strength and advancing toward armed foes.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the man in Job 39:21 as your inner self, a being who, in the deepest valley of circumstance, is not crushed but amplified by the awareness of power. The pawing is the rising impulse of consciousness testing its own strength; the 'rejoicing' is the thrill of confidence that you, the I AM, have discovered your own faculties. When you interpret 'armed men' not as external foes but as thoughts, memories, doubts, or conditions, you find you are not fleeing but advancing—meeting limitation with the certainty that your awareness is the source of all outcomes. The valley becomes your inner ground, not a place of deficit, for you are already equipped with a protective strength that does not depend on an external army. The scene asks you to dwell in the feeling of being already strong, to stand in the imagining that your power is present, complete, and active in every moment. By habit, you train the mind to act from that assumption, and the outer world follows the inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: For 5 minutes, close your eyes, assume I AM as the source of strength, and walk through a valley toward the armed men in your mind, feeling your power rise in the chest and declaring, 'I am strength; I confront fear and fear dissolves.'
