Inner Return to Praise

Luke 2:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 2 in context

Scripture Focus

20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke 2:20

Biblical Context

The shepherds return from witnessing the birth, glorifying God for what they heard and saw. Their outward praise reflects an inner realization taking hold.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 2:20 speaks not of outside witnesses alone but of an inner sight that travels home as praise. The shepherds did not merely tell a tale; they carried into their daily pasture a vision and the memory of it, and their emotion became the proof. In Neville’s terms, the scene is a map of consciousness: the birth of a truth within awakens the I Am to its own glory, and the natural response is thanksgiving expressed as glorifying God. The many things heard and seen are movements within the mind—impressions, assurances, and quiet confirmations—that align with the spoken word of God within. When they return, they did not revert; they completed the act of seeing by making the vision a state of living awareness. Your task is to imitate that: dwell in the certainty of the fulfilled promise, regardless of appearances, and let the memory of inner sight color your outward day. By not denying the inner witness but acting from it, you demonstrate that you already possess what the world calls future.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM witnessing and praising God for a desire already fulfilled; feel the joy, and carry that realization into your day as present fact.
