Trust the Inner Guide
Micah 7:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Micah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns not to trust outward friends or guides. In Neville’s view, true counsel arises from within your own I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Trust not in a friend, nor place your confidence in a guide, Micah declares. But the real drama is not their deceit; it is your current state of consciousness imagining them as sources. You are always alone with your I AM, the living awareness that fashions your world. When you lean on another as authority, you starve your inner I AM of its office as 'God within.' The 'lie in thy bosom' points to the counterfeit thoughts you nurse in secret—the doubts, the fear, the small habitual stories that pretend to know what is best. To be free, you do not deny the outer person; you deny the outer claim over your inner response. Return to the fact that you are the thinker of your thoughts, the projector of your experiences. The inner guide is present now as the I AM, waiting to be trusted rather than idols. By reaffirming your oneness with that divine awareness, you awaken discernment and faithfulness in every relationship, not by changing others, but by changing your inner state.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of the I AM as your only guide; revise any reliance on outward 'friends' by imagining the inner I AM speaking to you as the trusted guide. Feel it real.
