Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 10:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 10 in context

Scripture Focus

17For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

18He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

Deuteronomy 10:17-18

Biblical Context

The passage presents the Lord as supreme and unbiased, who defends the vulnerable and loves the stranger by providing food and clothing.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of your mind, this passage names the I AM as the supreme governor of all experiences—not a distant deity, but your own awareness acting with unconditioned justice. When you hear, 'the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords,' you are naming the one power that stands above all appearances, the impartial law that does not respect persons nor seek reward. The 'fatherless and widow' are the neglected aspects of self crying for protection; the 'stranger' is every new state of consciousness that feels unfamiliar. To love the stranger is to welcome it with nourishment and raiment—providing thoughts, feelings, and forms until they are clothed with substance. The verse invites inner reliance: not on external favors, but on the I AM's constant provision, which satisfies every need without bias. When you align with this inner governor, justice flows as balance in your life, and your world reflects a generous, compassionate order.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM now as the sovereign of your experience, and revise any sense of lack by picturing the inner 'fatherless' and 'widow' fed and clothed by the abundance of your consciousness. Feel it real as you go about the day.
