Inner Shield, Great Reward
Genesis 15:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God speaks to Abram in a vision, telling him not to fear. He declares Himself as Abram's shield and his exceeding great reward.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 15:1 unfolds not as a history lesson but as a belief-realignment in consciousness. The word of the LORD coming to Abram in a vision is the I AM awakening within your own mind. When it says, 'Fear not,' it is not a command from elsewhere; it is your own shifted state refusing to identify with danger. 'I am thy shield' is the recognition that your awareness itself protects you, that no image formed by doubt can break through the boundary of the self that you truly are. 'Thy exceeding great reward' is the felt realization that the reward of life is already present as you acknowledge your God-given state; you are the keeper and the kept, the invite and the invitation. This moment indicates a transition from projection of threat to the perception of divine presence as your daily experience. The vision becomes your internal point of orientation—the place from which events arise and are interpreted. If you dwell there, all outward circumstances will conform to the sense of safety and abundance that I AM promises.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close the eyes, and repeat, 'I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward,' and feel the protection and reward as a present atmosphere; then rest in the assurance 'Fear not'.
