Laughing Mouth, Renewed World
Job 8:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage promises that the righteous will be filled with laughter and rejoicing, while those who hate them will be clothed with shame and the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nought.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the language of the I AM, laughter is the outward sign of an inward state. Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing is not about changing others but about changing your awareness from lack to abundance. God is your I AM, your awareness that never withdraws; when you assume a new state, the world must follow. The hate you perceive and the ruin of the wicked are merely the old picture fading as you choose a newer film for your mind. Do not argue with appearances; imagine you are already living the joy you seek. The verse invites you to dwell in a consciousness where opposition dissolves into harmony: your inner conviction becomes visible as laughter and rejoicing in the outer scene. The new creation begins as a felt-reality, a revision you repeat until it sits as fact. If you persist in that feeling, you will witness circumstances shift to reflect your inner triumph, and what once looked like enmity will fade, leaving only the truth of your awakened state.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the mood of one whose mouth is already laughing. Feel it real now and revise a present scene to reflect joy.
