Inner Covenant Kept by Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 4 speaks to the eunuchs who keep the sabbath and choose what pleases God, and who take hold of the covenant. In Neville fashion, see the eunuch not as a person, but as a state of consciousness that has renounced the noise of the world. The sabbath is not a day apart from you; it is inner rest in the I AM, a refusal to let fear govern your thoughts. When you persist in keeping that inner sabbath, you align your mind with God’s law, you select the ideas and feelings that please the living presence within, and you take hold of the covenant as a present fact in your awareness. The covenant is not a future contract but a decision of the I AM to see itself as perfect now. To be faithful is to dwell in that awareness, to treat every moment as if God’s will is fulfilled. So the eunuch’s inclusion is your inclusion: loyalty, obedience, and holiness are states of consciousness you can assume and revise into experience.
