Read Genesis 22 in context

Scripture Focus

6And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

Genesis 22:6

Biblical Context

Abraham takes the wood for the offering and, with Isaac beside him, carries fire and a knife as they go together toward the sacrifice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Abraham, in this moment, is a state of consciousness choosing to bear the wood of limitation, with Isaac as the younger self drawn into the higher path. The fire in his hand is the ignited conviction of the I AM streaming through him, and the knife is the discernment that tests belief without destroying faith. When they go together, it shows that true worship is not external ritual but the alignment of will with the living presence within. The ascent is not an act of sacrifice to a distant deity but a surrender of the ego’s attachment to form, so that the promise can emerge unblocked by fear. In this reading, the covenant is the inward covenant: obedience to inner guidance, faith that the seen is born from the unseen, and loyalty to the divine I AM that animates thought and feeling. To practice: enter the verse as your current inner scene, feel yourself already in harmony with your higher self, and let the 'wood' of your concerns be laid on the 'son' of your desire while you move forward in trust.

Practice This Now

Assume the scene: you carry the wood of your burden, and the inner fire lights your path, walking with your higher self. Feel you are in covenant with your I AM and that the outcome already exists as completed idea in your consciousness.
