Job Shadow Of Time

Job 7:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Job 7:1-2

Biblical Context

Job 7:1-2 asks whether there is a fixed season for human life, likening our days to those of a hired servant who longs for shade. It hints that what we call fate is a condition of mind awaiting inner change.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, this short moment in Job is not about external circumstances but about the inner hireling we believe ourselves to be. The appointed time mentioned is the rhythm we, in consciousness, assign to our days; the days that feel like service are only the sensation of a state of mind, not a decree of fate. When you identify with the I AM—your awareness that orders what you experience—the shadow you long for becomes a felt image within imagination, not a scarcity on a calendar. The veil of weariness arises from time-bound thought: you are the one who imagines your hours into existence. By choosing a new assumption, you rehire the self you are, and the reward you seek becomes the present feeling of fulfillment. The apparent waiting is a call to discipline: persist in seeing through the outward hours to the inner throne where decisions are made. In this inner ordering, your future is imagined into being, and the shadows give way to the light of realized state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume I am the I AM, shaping time now. Feel the shadow as real rest and the reward as already mine, letting that feeling saturate your awareness.
