Read Judges 3 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

6And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

Judges 3:5-6

Biblical Context

Israelites dwelt among Canaanites, took their daughters as wives, and began to serve their gods. This is a plain record of how inner alliances become outward worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the scene as a map of states of consciousness, not a geographic tale. To dwell among Canaanites is to permit foreign dispositions to reside within your mind; to take their daughters as wives is to adopt alien beliefs as your own habits; and to serve their gods is to act from thoughts that claim you are defined by circumstance rather than by your I AM. The great law of imaginative power teaches that what you entertain inside becomes your external world. Therefore, this account warns that allegiance compromised by borrowed loyalties yields a life governed by others’ ideas. If you would know true worship, you must withdraw consent from every god save the I AM, the only presence by which you live. Revise your inner weather: declare, I AM the Lord of my inner temple; I acknowledge no other god. When you hold that conviction, the inner landscape refines itself and the outward life follows with quiet, radiant devotion. Practice this revision until it feels real in your chest and bones.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I AM the sole Lord of my inner temple.' Feel it real as you breathe; revise any competing belief until it dissolves into light.
