Scripture Focus

1And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

Leviticus 10:1

Biblical Context

Nadab and Abihu offered fire and incense before the LORD that God had not commanded. The verse warns that worship must follow divine instruction rather than personal impulses.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner workshop of your mind, Nadab and Abihu symbolize states that would act on impulse, offering energy without the I AM's sanction. Fire is the stirred energy of desire; incense is the image you carry. When these are presented to God without a commanded inner consent, you produce disturbance rather than true worship. God is not distant but the I AM within—awareness you know by. If you trust your own volition to shape reality apart from that awareness, you create 'strange fire' that scorches your altar of thought. True worship, from Neville’s view, is obedience: align every thought, feeling, and image with the one command of consciousness. Do not offer anything you have not first claimed as the I AM’s will for you, and the inner fire becomes steady, sacred, and fruitful.

Practice This Now

Assume the end: the wish is fulfilled; feel it real for a few breaths. Then keep your next impulses in harmony with this state, offering only what the I AM commands.
