Inner Choice and Provision
Genesis 13:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Lot surveys the plain and chooses the well-watered land, then travels east and parts from Abram. Abram remains in Canaan while Lot pitches toward Sodom.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the I AM's vantage, Genesis 13:10-12 becomes a map of inner states. Lot's gaze on the well-watered plain mirrors a moment when the mind reads abundance in outward circumstance, and his eastern journey signals a decision to dwell in that imagined state. Yet the story is not geography but disposition: wealth, security, and status arise from belief about what is real. When Lot pitches his tent toward Sodom, he aligns with a world of ease and peril—an inner climate of craving rather than trust. Abram's staying in Canaan represents a different inner condition—the practice of the unseen, the sense that divinity provides, and the discipline to hold a vision despite appearances. The “well-watered” land is the inner sense of provision; the separation is the shedding of competing mind-sets, not merely a physical split of people. The practical message: you are the I AM; by an act of assumption you can revise the scene so that you already reside in the land of plenty, free from fear and lack.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, I am in the well-watered land of abundance, already provided. Feel it as real now—gratitude, steadiness, and an inner settlement that no outer motion can disturb.
