Read Judges 13 in context

Scripture Focus

Judges 13:23

Biblical Context

Judges 13:23 presents the wife affirming that God’s mercy and guidance are evidenced by how He accepts offerings and reveals what is coming. This implies divine providence in their experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Her words invite you to see the scene as a drama of the I AM within. The burnt offering and meat offering are symbols of the devotion you stand in as you assume your desired state. If the LORD were pleased to kill us, the signs would not appear; therefore every sign you call providence is a proof of your inner attainment. God is not outside of you; He is the I AM that answers when you dwell in the assumption that your wish is already granted. The angel’s message in the story is the inner prompting of your own consciousness, showing you what you have imagined as real. So refuse to surrender to outward appearances; cultivate the inner conviction that you are already guided, protected, and provided for. In this view, the present happenings are the manifestation of your trusted state, and the appearing words are the echo of your own inner result.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of quiet, repeat: 'The I AM has received my offering; I am guided now.' Feel it as real—your inner state aligned with providence—and watch for signs that confirm your assumed state.
