Joy Is Your Strength Within
Nehemiah 8:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah 8:9-10 declares this day holy and instructs the people not to mourn; instead they are invited to feast and rejoice. The verse links holy living with the strength found in joy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your consciousness is the day that Nehemiah calls holy. The weeping symbolizes believing a thought contrary to God; you can revise by yielding to the I AM within. The 'joy of the LORD' is not a mere feeling, but the enduring strength of God-thought inhabiting your awareness. When you acknowledge the Lord as your interior awareness, you dissolve the sense of separation and stand in a state of holy abundance. Eat the fat and drink the sweet by feasting on gratitude, prosperity, and the conviction that all provision resides in your inner world. The law you heard in activity becomes a call to return to your true light; you answer by assuming a state and feeling it real—that you are fed, restored, and ready to bless others with your inner abundance. The holy day is your decision to live from joy; the strength you experience is the alignment of your mind with God within, empowering every moment with presence and fearless love.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume: I AM joy, I AM strength, I AM holy awareness here and now; dwell in that state for a moment and let it radiate into your day.
