Inner Remembering of Judges 8:34

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 8:34 presents a simple scene: the people tasted deliverance and then turned their attention away from the Source of that power. In the language of the inner self, forgetfulness is not a historical fault but a shift in consciousness: the I AM becomes momentarily dim, the imagination forgets its own creative power, and the sense of covenant loyalty dissolves into routine. You are the one who did the delivering in your own inner world, by the assumption that God is present and available now. When you “remember not,” you are temporarily identifying with a state of separation, with fear and friction, and you project that as the world of enemies on every side. But you can reverse this by returning to the awareness that the LORD is your life, your first and last source. Make your next moment an act of remembrance: feel the gratitude that arises when you know you are under divine governance. Rehearse the feeling of fidelity to that inner king, and watch the apparent external conditions align with your renewed awareness.
