Naked Bow of Inner Covenant

Habakkuk 3:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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 3:9

Biblical Context

Plain reading: The verse speaks of a power—God’s bow and word—made naked by the oaths of the tribes, whose effect cleaves the earth with rivers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true bow is your attention released through a settled I AM state. When you permit the word—the conviction you mean in imagination—to stand naked of doubt, it cleaves the external landscape as rivers cleave the earth. The 'oaths of the tribes' are your repeated, uncompromising acts of faith—consistently returning to the same assumption, the same vision of yourself as the I AM. In this inner scene, God is not distant but your awareness, the I AM that speaks and counts the spears. The 'Selah' is the pause that allows the mind to feel the truth. The naked bow reveals intention without necessity of proof; the outer world adjusts to align with the inner decree. Your life becomes a field where your word exacts law: your inner covenant becomes your outer covenant. The rivers show up as circumstances moving to fulfill your inner image, not you moving to force them. This is the alchemy: you are the cause; the world is the sign.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the I AM; my word is true now.' Then, visualize yourself holding the naked bow of your intention and imagine rivers of circumstance parting to reveal your desired state.
