Inner Beersheba Dwelling

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 22:19 records not a geographic return but the inner state of a man who has stood in the presence of the impossible and chosen faith. The return to Beersheba is a return to ordinary life where the I AM is felt as the I within—where the inner faculties (the young men) rise and accompany you, then await your dwelling in a quiet, intimate place of awareness. Beersheba stands for a settled consciousness, the place you inhabit when trust has become a way of seeing. The obedience that moved Abraham to faith is now completed as a present reality: you and your “helpers” rise together in your imagination and walk back into the daily scene, carrying the calm of a lived revelation. The tension of the trial dissolves when you realize that God is not outside drama but the awareness in which all events unfold. Your life is not changing conditions; you are changing your sense of self, and the ordinary becomes sacred when you dwell there.
