Resting In The I Am

Exodus 31:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 31 in context

Scripture Focus

17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:17

Biblical Context

Exodus 31:17 presents a lasting sign: after six days of creation, God rests on the seventh day and is refreshed.

Neville's Inner Vision

All that is spoken here is a whisper to the inner man. The six days of creation are the mind’s busy activities, plans, and projects, driven by desire to shape a world. The seventh day is not a calendar, but a state of awareness in which the doer and the created world slump into the I AM and are refreshed by the truth that completion already exists in consciousness. The sign between God and Israel becomes a sign within you: your awareness is the covenant, your attention is the work, and rest is the moment you acknowledge that you have already finished. When you assume the end, you stop chasing effects and let the inner creation reveal itself as finished. This rest is not escape but alignment—imagination cohering with fact in the I AM. The I AM is the creator and the rest; through quiet acceptance you restore order to mind and life, and the world follows the inner order you maintain.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and dwell in the belief 'I AM Rested' as if you have already completed your goal. Hold that feeling for a few minutes each day.
