The Inner Path Without a Home

Matthew 8:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 8 in context

Scripture Focus

19And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Matthew 8:19-20

Biblical Context

A scribe promises to follow Jesus anywhere. Jesus answers that the Son of Man has no fixed earthly home, signaling a call to inner trust over external security.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the scribe, Jesus is naming a state of consciousness. The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; yet the Son of Man has no fixed dwelling because his head—the awareness that he truly is—does not rest in brick and street. The word 'head' is symbolic: your center of self, your ruling idea. If you rest your security in a physical home, you limit your following to outer conditions. But if you embrace the inner order—that you are the I AM, always guided by divine illumination—then 'where you go' becomes wherever consciousness is led. The scribe’s offer is the seed of faith; the teaching is to revise every limitation by assuming the mind that already knows it is cared for by God. Imagination is the wind in your sails; feeling it real is the current that moves you through weather. So the true journey is inward, and the outer landscape will shift to match the inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am led by divine order.' Then imagine moving to your next destination with no lack, feeling the I AM supporting you every step.
