Job 8:3-4

Biblical Context

Job 8:3-4 asks whether God perverts judgment and states that calamities may come as a result of sin; it presents divine action as an outcome tied to behavior.

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse invites us to rest in the realization that 'God' and 'judgment' are not external rulers but the I AM within. What you call judgment becomes a reflection of your inner state; you experience what your consciousness believes. The idea that God perverts justice is a misreading born of fear. In truth, there is perfect order when you acknowledge yourself as the sovereign observer, the one who commands the atmosphere of your life by your state of consciousness. The 'children' who are spoken of symbolize old beliefs or traits that you have outgrown; their departure from your life is the shedding of a lower vibration, not a punishment from outside. As you revise your assumption to: 'My I AM does not pervert justice; all events are the result of my present awareness,' you align with a higher justice that feels right, peaceful, and complete. Every occurrence becomes a mirror of your inner state, inviting you to return to wholeness rather than fear.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the I AM as the sole author of your experience; revise the belief that external events punish you, and declare, 'God does not pervert justice; I am in perfect order now,' then breathe into that new state until it feels real.
