Return To The High Within

Hosea 7:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Hosea 7 in context

Scripture Focus

16They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hosea 7:16

Biblical Context

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a deceitful bow whose aim fails, and their princes fall by the sword, becoming derision in Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this measure Hosea speaks to the inner man who would pretend fidelity while the heart remains elsewhere. The 'Most High' is not a distant place but the living I AM in you; to return is to align your consciousness with that Presence. If you simply move your feet toward a ritual or outward form, you have not truly returned—your bow is deceitful because its string is tied to past beliefs, to separation, to ego's cant. The 'deceitful bow' embodies a mind that promises hit but cannot hit its mark because it darts at ghosts. When rage of tongue and the sword of circumstance appear, they reflect a misalignment, a sentence spoken against Life itself. Yet the remedy is to revise the inner assumption: you are already where you long to be, the I AM fully present now. When you claim this as your lived truth, the outward sword loses its edge; the derision in Egypt vanishes as you rest in the One Presence that never leaves you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare: I return now to the I AM. Feel the inner Presence settling within you and notice any old judgments dissolving as you rest in the High.
