Nehemiah 3:5 Inner Resolve
Nehemiah 3:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Two groups stand before us: the Tekoites who repaired, and the nobles who did not put their necks to the work of the LORD. The verse foregrounds a contrast between willing labor and idle apathy within the community.
Neville's Inner Vision
The verse speaks to two states of consciousness within every person: the Tekoites who choose to repair and build, and the nobles who withhold. When you notice an inner nobility—pride, fear, procrastination—refusing to bend to the LORD, you witness a separation from your I AM, the intelligence that builds. The work is not merely outward walls but the alignment of awareness with its true intention. Decide to repair now and you invite the whole inner city to rise; your imagination becomes the mortar, your belief the bridle, your feeling the weight of the bricks. Persist through resistance and you prove you are not a slave to habit but its master, reordering your inner landscape so the LORD’s labor is your labor. The LORD in this reading is your own I AM beckoning you to consent to the work and to dwell in the confidence that you can materialize the city you envision.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are the Tekoite who repairs; revise any lingering doubt as you feel the bricks settle, as though the inner walls are already complete.
