Inner Rescue From Waters

2 Samuel 22:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 22 in context

Scripture Focus

17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
2 Samuel 22:17-18

Biblical Context

The passage portrays God lifting the speaker from overwhelming waters and delivering him from a powerful enemy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Everything that occurs outward is the echo of an inward state. 'He sent from above' is your I AM—the quiet, vigilant consciousness that watches without judging. 'He drew me out of many waters' speaks to the moment you stop wrestling the current and let the inner current guide you. The waters are the tumult of thoughts; the strong enemy is fear or attachment masquerading as circumstance. They appear powerful only because you have forgotten your own creative presence. Rescue is not a change of place but a change of state: imagine the strength of a higher current lifting you, see yourself drawn toward shore, feel the calm that follows when attention rests in I AM. The deliverance comes as you refuse to identify with the storm and instead identify with the observer who can revise the scene. In that choice, the seemingly hostile forces reveal their true nature as misperceptions; grace returns, and you stand on solid, quiet ground within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene in your mind: feel your I AM drawing you safely to shore, and imagine you are already delivered here and now.
