Inner Altar of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this as a vivid drama of inner choice. Gad’s message is a summons to a higher state of awareness, not a mere place to stand but a command to consecrate a corner of consciousness to the I AM. The threshing floor represents cleared thought where energy can be directed; the altar is a decision to worship from within. Araunah bowing is your outer conditions acknowledging a higher claim on your life. David’s refusal to offer something cost-free shows that true worship must cost the self something tangible; the price paid (fifty shekels) signifies the effort and focus your inner I AM is willing to invest to purchase a new atmosphere of being. As offerings rise—burnt and peace offerings—the inner climate shifts; the plague, a symbol of fear or lack, is stayed because consciousness has turned from sentiment to concrete imaginative action. A covenant restored in the story is a consciousness renewed. When you assume the posture of I AM willing to invest in a higher altar, mercy can flow through your life.
