Attending the Lord Without Distraction
1 Corinthians 7:35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul explains it is for your profit and not a snare. The aim is that you attend the Lord without distraction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider this verse as a doorway into your inner theatre. Attending the Lord without distraction becomes a deliberate state of consciousness where the I AM—the aware you—remains supreme. The profit Paul names is the clarity that comes when attention is not scattered among a hundred concerns, but kept on the comely center of inner truth. Distractions are but clouds passing over a fixed light; you revise them by returning to the realization that you and the Lord within are one. This is not rule-keeping but a shift in belief: inward devotion naturally expresses as outer service when your attention is placed where life actually unfolds. By choosing this singular focus, obedience and holiness arise as effortless manifestations, and your day aligns with true worship. The presence of God is not elsewhere; it is the I AM you continually acknowledge.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I attend the Lord within.' Feel the steady I AM like a light in the room; when a distraction arises, revise inwardly, 'I return my attention to the comely presence.'
