Inner Rivers of Salvation

Habakkuk 3:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 3 in context

Scripture Focus

8Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
Habakkuk 3:8-9

Biblical Context

Habakkuk 3:8-9 presents God riding on chariots of salvation across rivers and the sea, a symbol of sovereign power in motion. The passage also speaks of a naked bow and rivers cleaving the earth, signaling the dawning of divine order and victorious movement.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner ear, Habakkuk’s vision is not a battlefield but a map of your own consciousness. The rivers, the sea, the earth, and the chariots are inner states—currents of belief and feeling that seem to bear you toward or away from your desired state. When he asks if the LORD is displeased with the rivers, he is pointing you to your attention: what are you letting flow through your mind? The horses and chariots of salvation are the disciplined habits of imagination that carry you to your goal; they are not external forces but your ability to dwell in a feeling of already having what you seek. The bow, made naked by the oaths of the tribes, is your word—your conviction spoken from the I AM. When you decree in alignment with your true nature, the bow reveals its power without doubt. The earth cleaved by rivers represents the dissolving of old false boundaries within you—limits washed away by living water of awareness. Selah invites you to pause and feel the truth you are becoming as if it already existed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already in the state you desire, riding the inner rivers of your mind. Speak your decree from the I AM and feel it real now, letting the 'rivers' wash away doubt and establish inner order.
