Neville Goddard on Micah 6:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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?

Micah 6:5-6

Biblical Context

Micah 6:5-6 asks how to approach the LORD: through ritual or through the inner righteousness already present. It invites turning from external acts to inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Micah asks: how do you come before the LORD? Through offerings or through the inner righteousness that you already are? The answer is within you: the LORD’s righteousness is the state of awareness you cultivate, not the calves you offer. Balak's memory and Balaam's reply show that no external ritual can awaken what only you can awaken by turning attention inward. The journey from Shittim to Gilgal is the movement of consciousness from fear and striving to rest in the I AM. When you remember this exchange, you may revise your worship: you do not come to God by performing, you come as the very awareness that performs through you. Stand before the high God as the one who is already righteous, because you are the living, breathing I AM. Practice beginning here, now, in this moment, and let the sense of separation fall away. The Presence of God is not distant; it is the clarity of awareness you are.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, recall your today’s attempt to approach God through ritual, and revise by saying, I am the righteousness of the LORD now; feel the truth as a living warmth in your chest and sit with that feeling for a minute.
