Scripture Focus

21In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 6:21

Biblical Context

Leviticus 6:21 describes preparing a grain offering with oil, baking it, and presenting the baked pieces to the LORD as a sweet savour. It signals a ritual of worship that's meant to be pleasing to God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the offering is not an outer ritual alone but a map of consciousness. The pan and oil stand for an inner anointing of awareness, the baking heat for the disciplined imagination that transfigures labor into presence. When I imagine the grain being made with oil and then brought in, I am invited to accept that I am both the doer and the receiver of ceremony, and that my inner offering becomes a sweet savour unto the LORD, the I AM within. The consummation of the act is not in a stone altar but in the felt sense of harmony between activity and stillness. As I taste the 'sweet savour' in imagination, I align with God's presence and reaffirm loyalty to the covenant of consciousness. The verse teaches that worship is not a performance but a condition of awareness; by baking this offering in consciousness, I provide a continuous scent of grace that dwells in me, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are tending the pan; feel the oil as anointing on your awareness; bake the piece in imagination; then declare, 'I AM the sweet savour' and present it to God now.
