Desert Water, Inner Fountain
Exodus 17:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 17:3 shows the people's thirst in the desert and their restless questioning of Moses about their deliverance. It reveals how hardship moves minds toward worry rather than trust.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the thirst is not for physical water but for the true sustenance belonging to your present I AM. The exodus from Egypt is the movement from a belief in separation to unity with the one life that you are. When the people murmur against Moses, they murmur against their own inner counsel, the I AM that would lead them to abundance. The desert reveals the condition of mind when you have not yet realized your divine provision. The water the Israelites sought exists as a consciousness within you, a fountain that arises as you accept that God is the I AM present now. To drink is to accept the reality that you are already supplied by the divine within; to doubt is to deny your own Nature. So the remedy is to revise the circumstance by assuming that the path has always provided, and that you are the one who takes the step from lack to fullness. Do not seek Moses externals; listen to the inner law that says water exists within and is yours by right of being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene. Assume the I AM within is the source of all water; feel it circulating in you as presence, and let the sense of thirst dissolve.
