Genesis 20:2 Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the story of Genesis 20:2, Sarah and Abraham reveal a young habit of fear masquerading as protection. In Neville's terms, Sarah represents an inner harmony, a beloved presence within the mental landscape that fear would place at a distance by calling her 'sister'. The outward claim is only a symptom of a deeper assumption about separation from the covenant God. Abimelech’s action and the ensuing disruption invite a correction by Providence, not punishment. The I AM behind the scene watches over the drama, nudging the consciousness back toward unity and loyalty to the divine promise. The true meaning is not found in the historical incident but in the inner shift you can perform: you may revise the identification you hold about your beloved and your partnership, so that fear gives way to trust, and the sense of self expands beyond imagery of two separate people. When you align with the inner relationship that binds you to the Source, the outer events lose their scare and reveal the one life in which covenant and faith endure.
