Inner Hope and Living Waters

Jeremiah 17:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 17 in context

Scripture Focus

13O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Jeremiah 17:13

Biblical Context

The verse proclaims that hope resides in the LORD. Those who forsake Him inherit shame and a sense of separation from the living waters that sustain life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the Lord can be seen as the I AM—the solid, ever-present hope of your inner Israel. When you think you can forsake this awareness, you are only stepping into a memory of yourself, a 'written in the earth' record of a former state. The verse does not threaten you with punishment; it reveals a law of inner life: you are sustained by the fountain of living waters that flows from awareness itself. If you feel dry or lost, you have merely forgotten the source you are. The moment you decide to return to the I AM, the inner spring rises again, and all outward conditions soften to reflect your inner steadiness. The shame spoken of is the residue of believing you are separate from your own Source; in truth, you are always in the presence of the living waters. To live in this realization is to stop chasing external outcomes and to rest in the sensation that you are the living water itself, ever-present and unshakable.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are the fountain of living waters, your awareness refreshing all things. Feel it real by quietly repeating 'I AM' until the sense of separation dissolves.
