The Inner Ark of Worship
1 Samuel 6:12-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage shows the ark moving toward Bethshemesh with the kine, the people's rejoicing at its sight, and offerings made on a great stone, illustrating a tangible Presence when the people respond faithfully.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the ark as your inner I AM, the Presence that travels straight through your mind when you stop flanking with doubt. The kine are your natural impulses moving toward Bethshemesh—the field of your awakened state—unforced by fear, choosing the straight highway because your awareness is relaxed and singular. The ark is not a box but your inner awareness carrying the jewels of gold—the values and promises stored in your soul. When the cart stops on the great stone and the offerings are made, you are invited to burn off fear by giving up resistance, and rest in perfect trust that the I AM is guiding. The Levites lifting the ark signifies quiet inner attention; the ritual of sacrifice becomes a symbolic release of resistance, an act that says, 'I trust the Presence now.' The lesson: true worship is a lived alignment of imagination and belief—the moment you assume the I AM is in you, as you, and through you, your life follows the ordained path. Covenant loyalty is not external obligation but the unwavering assumption that God is your I AM, here, now, moving your world as you imagine it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the ark of your inner presence is already in your life, traveling the straight path of your daily mind. Feel it real by blessing the day with the statement, 'I AM present, I AM well, I AM moving my life forward.'
