Job 7:20 Inner Mercy Practice
Job 7:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job admits sin and asks what he should do to the preserver of men, feeling he has been set as a mark and a burden to himself.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville's ear, Job's cry is not a confession of separated guilt but a turning within a living state. I have sinned is the echo of a moment when consciousness identifies with limitation. The preserver of men is the self—the I AM that you are right now. The mark he feels is the belief that a certain inner stance has separated him from his source, so he bears the burden of that separation. Your inner world paints events as if God were an external judge; in truth, you are the title, the watcher, and the one being watched by your own attention. When you attend to the feeling that you are preserved and unconditionally loved by the I AM, the burden dissolves. Forgiveness follows not from appeals to distant power but from a revision of the assumption that you are defined by fault. In that stillness, Job's question becomes your practice: return to the awareness that you are the I AM, the one who preserves and reconciles.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare I am the I AM, I am preserved and reconciled, and dwell in that felt sense until the old burden fades.
