Inner Confidence in Judges 9:26-27

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 9:26-27 becomes a mirror of your inner state. Gaal is the restless ego that seeks power by winning the crowd, and Shechem is the mind where you hand over the reins to a new appearance of authority. The gathering in the fields, the grapes trodden and the merriment, are the signs of a belief system that feeds on outward proofs. The house of their god is the inner altar where habit and ritual substitute for immediate knowing. When they eat and drink, their consciousness worships form rather than the I AM, and they join in cursing Abimelech, the old ruler within. You see the psychology: as long as you look to appearances and favor a mortal, you empower a borrowed lord to govern your life. The true God is not a temple in a dream but the awareness that you are I AM, the one who imagines. In this moment, the curse dissolves by a simple revision of trust. When you cease seeking external validation and rest in the inner king, the field sows abundance and inner worship becomes unconditional gratitude.
