Restored Silver, Inner Worship

Judges 17:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 17 in context

Scripture Focus

3And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
Judges 17:3

Biblical Context

A mother had dedicated eleven hundred shekels of silver to the LORD to fashion graven and molten images for her son. She now resolves to restore the silver.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the silver is your energy, the will to fix life by outer symbols. The vow to fashion a god from metal marks a natural impulse of consciousness to hinge reality on form. The mother’s voice, claiming LORD-ness while pursuing an idol, exposes your own double allegiance: you whisper worship yet cling to external signs. When she says the silver shall be restored, she gives you a practical doorway: you can reverse the movement from image to inward awareness. The LORD is not an external craft; the I AM is the living awareness that experiences every moment. The attempt to retain a holy image—the son, the image, the wealth—binds you to time and to limitation. Yet restoration is possible by returning energy to its source, by affirming I AM as the one authority, and by letting true worship take root in quiet inner perception rather than outward artifact. In your present moment, notice any vow to secure life through symbols, and revise by returning that energy to your inner temple, where image yields to pure awareness and freedom.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that the wealth has been restored to the inner LORD; revise the memory of outer idols by dwelling in the I AM and feel it real.
