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

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:6-8

Biblical Context

Micah 6:6-8 asks what offerings please the Lord, answering that true worship is not ritual but living justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Micah's question, the Lord answers not with objects, but with a state of consciousness you can inhabit now. The 'high God' you bow to is the I AM within you, your awareness itself. The clamor of offerings—calves, rams, oil, even a firstborn—exposes the futility of external rites when the inner posture remains unchanged. What God requires is the inward alignment: do justly in every choice, love mercy in every feeling, and walk humbly with thy God by dwelling as the I AM. These are not separate acts but the expression of your essential being. Practice asks you to revise your sense of reality until justice, compassion, and humility are your habitual operating system. When you assume that you already stand in right relationship with God, you begin to see the world reflect that integrity: fair dealing in thought and deed, mercy as your dominant tone of mind, and a quiet, humble confidence that God is within you, guiding every step. The scripture becomes a map for turning awareness into lived life, not a contract of external sacrifice.
