Micah 5:13 Inner Idols Cut Off

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of your mind, the graven and standing images are the fixed pictures you cling to as sources of security. To cut them off is to acknowledge that the outward objects and rituals you worship are by-products of your own imagination, not the source of reality. The verse invites a turn from worshiping the work of your hands toward the I AM—the ever-present awareness that creates your life. When you identify with a life you must achieve through external form, you are honoring idols; when you recognize that you are the living idea of God, the idols dissolve. This is holiness: a separation from fear and attachment to form, and an accountability that becomes creative responsibility. As you shift allegiance to the I AM, your inner life reorganizes your experiences, revealing that you are not bound to carved images but are the consciousness that imagines them into existence.
