Mercy in Action: Exodus 2:16-18

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 2:16-18 whispers that the kingdom of God is not a distant throne but a state of awareness that acts when it is needed. The priest's seven daughters gathering water embody a humble daily task; the shepherds who drive them away reveal an old habit of neglecting the neighbor. Moses, the inner man within, does not argue with external forces but assumes a new inner posture—standing up, offering help, and water for the flock. In Neville's psychology, this scene is a movement of consciousness: the I AM notices need, and, as soon as it imagines mercy, it becomes the energy that acts. When Moses waters the flock, you practice the impression of abundance in your mind—believing that support is available and that you can alter any moment by a decision of love. Reuel's question at the end is a test that this inner shift has become a living state, not mere memory. Your present moment can imitate this: deliberately soften toward another's need, assume, 'I AM here to help,' and feel it real; watch external life respond as the inner state of compassion takes expression through your day.
