The Inner Word That Sustains
Deuteronomy 8:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
This verse teaches that God humbles and feeds you to reveal that life is sustained not by physical bread but by every word that proceeds from the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the hunger you are invited to discover the living presence of God as the I AM within. The manna is not merely food but the inner impression that rises when you refuse to settle for bread and listen to the Word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD in your own consciousness. To say 'man lives by every word' is to declare a present reality: you are nourished by the Word you entertain now, and that word shapes your next condition. The humbling endured is not punishment but a refining of attention, turning the gaze from outward things to the inner speech that directs belief. When you assume the state of being fed by that Word, you awaken Providence and Guidance within; the supply you seek becomes the natural outcome of your aligned imagination. Obedience, in this sense, is faith in the inner Word and in your own I AM, not external rules. In your night of hunger, cultivate the feeling of being sustained by the Word, and you will find life welling up from within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of being fed by the living Word within you. Silently affirm, 'I am nourished by the Word that proceeds from the I AM,' until that Word feels real in your body.
