Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hosea 12:3-6 recalls Jacob's struggle and his turning to God. It exhorts mercy and judgment and waiting on the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the name Jacob becomes a state of consciousness: a restless energy in the womb of your mind that seeks power over circumstance. The 'heel' you touch is the pull of old stories, but the true power unfolds when you meet the inner angel—the living idea of God—through deepest supplication. You weep not to anguish but to surrender; you cry to the I AM, and in that surrender you prevail, not by force but by yielding to the divine movement within. The Bethel of your heart is the quiet place where you become aware of the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is your memorial, your anchor memory of God as ALL. Therefore turn, not outward, but to your own inner God. Practice mercy to others and discernment in your thoughts; let judgment be an inner clarity that frees rather than binds. And wait on thy God continually—hold steady attention on the I AM, as if listening to a friend who never leaves you. In that still, constant attention, you discover the power to endure, to transform, and to remember.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner stance: 'I turn to God within now,' and feel your heart soften into mercy while you imaginatively wait on the I AM as a calm, surrounding presence.
