Merom Moment: Inner Victory
Joshua 11:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text describes a sudden Israelite assault by the waters of Merom, and the LORD delivers them into Israel's hand, leading to their complete defeat and the burning of chariots.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the scene as a mirror of your inner life. The waters of Merom are the submerged feelings and unsatisfied desires that, when unsettled, pull you into struggle. The sudden move of Joshua and the army mirrors a decisive leap of awareness—your I AM waking into action when called by a clear inner command. The LORD delivering them into Israel's hand is your recognition that your higher self governs the sequence of experiences, not fear. The pursuit and total defeat of the enemy symbolize the dissolving of persistent thoughts and old identifications that would keep you from peace. To burn the horses and chariots is to release the energy that once bound you to urgency and impatience, freeing your will to move with grace. Providence and guidance are the steady, quiet lead of the inner Self, ensuring victory leaves no remnant opposition. This is the Presence of God: you, fully awake, ruling your inner field. When you remain obedient to the I AM and faithful to the imagined state, sudden victories unfold as your ordinary experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: I AM the victorious observer here and now. Revise any memory of lack, and feel the inner victory as real, letting old fears burn away as you breathe.
