Inner Excellency Always
Job 4:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe people who perish from morning to evening, losing their excellency and wisdom. It suggests that fading outer appearances mask an inner belief that life is without discernment.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theatre of consciousness, Job’s words are a reflection of a fluctuating state. The morning-to-evening decay is not a cosmic verdict but a signal that you have identified with a belief that you are unwise or transient. The 'excellency' within them—your true discernment and vitality—remains, though it may seem to vanish when you cling to appearances. When you reinterpret this scene through I AM awareness, you realize the perceived death is the old state dissolving as you stop affirming it. Wisdom is not an external possession but the living awareness that endures when you withdraw belief from lack. If you persist in the assumption that your essential excellency is present, the dying picture yields to a fresh conviction: I am the wisdom that remains, the light behind every event. The world conforms to the state you entertain within; change the inner state, and the outer turns toward enduring truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the end: 'I am the wisdom that endures; my excellency remains through every morning and evening.' Feel this as true for 5 minutes, then carry the memory into your day.
