Hide to Reveal Inner Trust
Joshua 2:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 2 in context

Biblical Context
Rahab hides the two men and says she does not know whence they were.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rahab’s act is a symbol of the inner strategy by which a new truth secures passage into life. The two men represent two movements within consciousness seeking direction; her hiding them is the mind securing a favorable state for that truth. When she says I wist not whence they were, she is not fabricating a random tale but protecting a forthcoming certainty from premature exposure to doubt. In Neville’s terms, places are inner dispositions and events are inner movements; the spies’ arrival corresponds to a shift in your imagination toward a promised outcome. The supposed origin of the men does not negate Providence; rather, it marks the moment when an inward decision becomes trustworthy, and mercy—the quality of compassion toward the unfoldment of truth—takes form in your inner covenant. Stay with the feeling that you are already governed by the I AM, that guidance is present, and that deception becomes a remembered discipline of belief, not a negation of truth. Imprint this by practicing a steady state of trust, fusing faith, covenant, and mercy into your present awareness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are already protected by Providence; feel the new truth secure in your mind. Then revise any doubt by repeating I AM here now.
