Neville Goddard on Micah 6:1-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

2Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

3O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

4For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

6Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Micah 6:1-8

Biblical Context

God reminds Israel of His deliverance and asks what He has done to weary them. The real demand is to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the lines of Micah become your inner dialogue. The mountains and foundations are the fixed attitudes of your mind; the LORD’s controversy is the friction you feel as you choose who you are becoming. When Micah asks what to bring before the Lord, the answer is not a herd of sacrifices but the state of consciousness you maintain. The deliverance from Egypt is the release from bondage you assume in your own thinking, and the ancient characters (Moses, Aaron, Miriam) symbolize the acts of birth in awareness that lead you to greater clarity. The question 'Wherewith shall I come before the Lord' dissolves as you realize you come as the I AM—your present awareness, not a ritual. The command to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God is training your inner dispositions: think just thoughts, feel mercy toward others and yourself, and move with quiet assurance beside the divine presence. When you inhabit this triad, outward life aligns with inner justice, and every moment becomes your temple.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already the person who does justly, loves mercy, and walks humbly with God. In the next moment, revise any judgment by affirming 'I AM aware, I choose justice, mercy, and humility'.
