Inner Miracles, Outer Provision

Deuteronomy 29:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 29 in context

Scripture Focus

3The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 29:3-6

Biblical Context

God displayed many signs and miracles to Israel, yet they did not have hearts or senses to fully perceive. He led them forty years in the wilderness, kept their clothes and shoes, and meant that they would know the LORD their God.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the signs and temptations are inner movements, not distant wonders. The 'great temptations' your eyes have seen are the restless thoughts that prod you to doubt you are God's image. In Neville's language, the heart is your state of consciousness; when it does not perceive, the vision remains blocked until you revise. The forty years of wilderness symbolize a sustained inner practice: you persist in the awareness that you are the I AM, and you do not require external miracles to prove it. The clothes and shoes that do not wear out point to the sufficiency of inner sustainment when your attention rests in God rather than in accident or gain. The absence of bread and wine is the hint that you are not sustained by external provisions but by the living Presence within. When you stop begging the world for signs and say, I am the LORD your God, you awaken to the reality that all signs are born of your own consciousness. Miracles become natural expressions of the mind fully aligned with its divine source.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat, 'I am the LORD my God' until that awareness fills you; then see the wilderness of your mind as a field where every sign you seek already resides as inner perception.
