Well of Inner Hospitality
Genesis 24:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The servant asks for water; Rebecca responds with swift generosity, then offers more by drawing water for the camels until their thirst is quenched.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take the scene as a map of your inward life. The servant’s request to drink is the subconscious asking that your attention be nourished; Rebecca’s swift reply, Drink, my lord, is the I AM in you answering with certainty. The pitcher and the well are the stream of your mental supply, always available when you turn within. When she says she will draw water for the camels also, she is showing the state of abundance that follows a genuine willingness to give. The camels, heavy with desire and burden, drink until they are satisfied; their thirst represents the longings that travel with you outwardly. By pouring water and hurrying back to the well, Rebecca demonstrates the instinct of consciousness to release its energy freely where needed. This is grace in operation: when you entertain the feeling that you already possess all you require, the outer scene answers in kind. The moment of hospitality is not about a single act but about the inner habit of seeing life as an inexhaustible well of supply.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are Rebecca inside you, pouring water for others. Feel the well of your own consciousness watering every need, and declare quietly, I already have all I require.
