Divine Questioning Anger

Jonah 4:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jonah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
Jonah 4:4

Biblical Context

God asks whether your anger is truly justified, pointing to an inner state rather than outer events. The verse invites you to inspect motive and open to mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the Lord's question is not addressed to a separate person named Jonah, but to the I AM you identify with in the moment. Anger rises as a strong movement within consciousness when a picture of yourself or the world seems thwarted. In Neville's sense, 'Doest thou well to be angry?' is a diagnostic, a mirror held up to your inner state. If you accept that you are the imaginer of your scene, then anger is not a verdict on reality but a signal that you have projected a possibility as real. The true governor of your world is your awareness, the I AM that never leaves you. By recognizing anger as a mental creation, you can revise the scene: declare the mercy you perceive in others is already your own, and that your awareness is complete, unshakable, and inclusive. In this light, the Lord's question becomes a loving invitation to re-imagine with compassion, to release resistance and rest in the truth that you are always the one who creates through inner repetition.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM is the sole reality of your experience. Silently revise the scene with 'I AM mercy' and feel it real as you breathe into your chest.
