Inner Worship Exodus 8:26

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 8:26 invites you to perform the inner act of sacrifice—the letting go of the Egyptians' abominations by aligning with the LORD within. The 'Egyptians' are your outer conditions, beliefs, habits that pretend to define you; the 'abomination' is the counterfeit worship that seeks validation from the crowd. To sacrifice it is to refuse to cast your sacredness on the public altar; to declare that your true altar is within, the I AM. When you feel the fear of being seen and judged ('before their eyes'), remember that you are not the eye that fears; you are the awareness that makes the eye see. The world cannot stone you, for you are the I AM, the constant in whom all appearances come and go. So you revise the sense of self away from the abomination toward the unwavering inner state. In practice, imagine lifting the idol of outward approval and replacing it with the feeling of the I AM already ruling your life.
