Inner Shadow of Time Within You
Job 8:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 8:9 reminds us that our earthly days are brief and our understanding is limited, a shadow we experience rather than a fixed reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
We are not bound by the fleeting days we call earth; the words 'yesterday' and 'shadow' invite us to wake from the dream of limited knowledge. Time and knowledge are states of consciousness. The I AM—your essential awareness—is timeless and omnipresent; identify with that I AM and the sense of aging, lack, and error dissolves. When you revise from within, the outer scene bends to your inner understanding, guided by Providence and inner discernment. Knowledge becomes a felt sense of being known by the One who is always awake within you. By dwelling in the confidence that you are the I AM here and now, you shift the living moment toward wisdom, faithfulness, and hope for the future. The shadow becomes a curtain behind which the eternal Light of awareness shines, revealing that you are not its victim but its author.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the timeless I AM here and now. Feel the enduring awareness behind every thought and declare, 'My days are a shadow in time, yet I am the light casting that shadow.'
