Hosea's Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the covenant is an inner climate more than an external contract. The beasts, birds, and creeping things are symbols of restless thoughts and fears that gnaw at your peace when you forget who you are. When the text says I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the earth, it speaks of disarming your mind’s battles by awakening to the one Presence within—the I AM. The betrothal is an inner vow—a decision to align your sense of self with divine order forever, not as ritual but as permanent state of consciousness. In righteousness, judgment, lovingkindness, and mercies you cultivate qualities that reflect Heaven inside: clear discernment, just actions, boundless compassion, and mercy toward all—especially toward yourself. Faithfulness is steadiness—knowing the LORD is present as your I AM and not a distant deity. When you inhabit this inner covenant, your outer life follows the peace you hold, and knowledge of the LORD becomes a lived, growing awareness.
