Inner Mercy Beyond Idols
Hosea 14:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hosea 14:3 declares that Asshur cannot save us and that we must abandon reliance on horses and the works of our hands. Mercy comes from the divine within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let this verse be read as a doorway into your inner world. Asshur and the horses are not distant armies but beliefs in external protection; they represent states of consciousness you might slip into when you forget the I AM. In Neville’s language, you are not saved by armies or achievements, but by a return to the awareness that God is the I AM within you. When you pronounce, 'we will not ride upon horses' you are choosing a consciousness that trusts the Presence rather than outward forms; when you say, 'the work of our hands are our gods,' you are disowning idols of effort and image. The fatherless finding mercy means that in a state of true dependence on the Infinite, mercy is not a future payoff but your present atmosphere. Practice is to revise any sense of lack by assuming mercy is already here, and to feel it as real in your chest until it shapes your thoughts and actions. If you dwell in this inner assurance, the outer scene shifts to reflect the inner awakening because imagination creates reality through the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of the fatherless; feel the I AM surrounding you as mercy now. Quietly declare, 'Mercy is mine here and now.'
