Divine Refuge and Delivery
Exodus 21:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
If the act is not premeditated and God delivers the person into your hand, a place of refuge will be appointed where he may flee.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the I AM, every moment is a choice to allow God to deliver you into your own awareness. The 'man' who is not lying in wait represents thoughts or habits that are not premeditated to harm; when God delivers him into your hand, the inner governor signals a new circumstance—a 'place' you can flee to in consciousness. This refuge is not a city of bricks but a state of mind where fear, guilt, and old scripts cannot reach you. Providence and guidance are not distant events but the movement of your own attention toward a reality that feels safe, redeemed, and future-filled. You are not the doer in isolation; you are the I AM experiencing itself, imagining a refuge where you are protected by the law of your life. The deliverer is your higher self, reminding you that salvation comes as you occupy a state that aligns with your desire. So, treat this verse as a manual for inner practice: assume the finish unto which you move, revise the story you tell, and feel that your future is already secured in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state of refuge now—feel the I AM delivering you into your own awareness. Dwell there for a few breaths, letting fear dissolve into hopeful possibility.
