Angelic Folly and Inner Trust
Job 4:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says God does not place trust in his servants, and He calls his angels to account for folly.
Neville's Inner Vision
To interpret Job 4:18, imagine 'he' as the current you—your present state of consciousness—that refuses to rely on outward functionaries and pictures—even the far-traveling angels—to govern your life. The line declares that trust in forms is precarious; even angelic messengers can be charged with folly when read through fear, doubt, or stale habits. Yet Neville would insist: the true God, the I AM within, is not dependent on such creatures. Your inner world is the theater where all 'servants' and 'angels' play roles according to your state. If you perceive them as fallible, you have misread the stage, for you are the one who speaks them into existence. The remedy is a shift: assume the feeling of your I AM as already present, trust that your inner messengers move to align with that reality, and refuse to let outward appearances dictate what you are. When you revise your sense of self to embody unwavering I AM-ness, the inner guidance and Providence follow, harmonizing your life with your assumed state.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the feeling of constant I AM presence; declare I am the I AM, trust in the inner guidance, and visualize your inner angels cohering into one guiding voice, then allow that certainty to settle as real.
