Inner Ward Of Three Days
Genesis 42:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
He gathers them into a ward for three days. It signals an inward testing of unity and discernment within the self.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your scripture, the three days of confinement are not punishment but a deliberate inner arrangement. The 'ward' is your inner circle of consciousness—the thoughts, fears, and faculties you once scattered in self-contradiction—now standing together under a single purpose. In Neville's terms, Joseph's action mirrors your decision to gather every impulse into one room where I AM, the awareness you hold as the self, can observe. The process is providential: the outer event marks yet another inward alignment, a proving of your faith in a single, guiding mind. As you dwell in this inner ward, imagine that the separation among your decisions, desires, and beliefs is being reconciled by your own I AM. The unity you seek on the outside is formed in your imagination; your conviction is the key that unlocks it. When you cease disputing inwardly and accept the sovereign presence, the perceived obstacles recede, and wisdom reveals the path in alignment with your highest good.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are in a three-day inner ward. Feel it real that all your thoughts are gathered as one under I AM, guiding you toward harmony.
