Read Exodus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

25And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

26And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Exodus 15:25-26

Biblical Context

God sweetens bitter waters and gives a path of obedience. Following His voice promises health and protection.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this sacred scene the bitter waters are not a place in history but a state of mind. The tree cast into the pool is the inner act by which you dissent from limitation and introduce a new impression into consciousness. When you imagine that act, the waters turn sweet because you have altered the vibration of feeling with a decisive gesture of faith. The statute and the ordinance become living laws written on your heart, a steady command to listen to the inner voice rather than the outer picture. Prove them by obedience to your inner guidance, and you release health from the inner kingdom. The words I am the LORD that healeth thee become a present declaration of your awareness, not a distant promise. Healing thus flows as you align your mind with a state of wholeness, not by begging external conditions but by assuming the reality of your inner God in you. This is covenant loyalty in action, a practical return to your true nature and its healing power.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, stand by the water, and cast a symbolic tree into the mind's pool; feel the bitterness dissolve into sweetness, then affirm I will heed the inner voice and claim health now.
