Inner Journey of Abraham
Genesis 20:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abraham continues his journey south, dwelling briefly between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourning in Gerar. The passage records his ongoing movement and temporary residence in a foreign land.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the I AM that you are, the text is not about geography but the state of consciousness in which you live. Abraham's outward trek is the inner movement of attention from fear toward faith; 'south country' is the turn toward the heart, 'between Kadesh and Shur' marks a boundary of senses, and 'Gerar' is the field of experience where you practice trust. If you can hear the verse in your own life, you begin to see that Providence is not behind events but within your own awareness, guiding every step. The journey and the dwelling signify that you are always moving and always at home in the presence of God—the two movements are one. Covenant loyalty is the memory that the I AM never abandons you; Providence & Guidance emerges as you remain conscious of God’s presence, even in foreign lands of circumstance. The lesson is a call to remain in the I AM as you navigate outward changes, knowing that your inner state shapes your outer map. This is how Abraham becomes your inner self, choosing to be governed by divine presence here and now.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already dwelling in the land of your heart where God is present; revise the scene to feel the I AM guiding your steps. Sit in stillness, and let the assurance of Providence register as a living sensation.
