Read Nehemiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

Nehemiah 5:1

Biblical Context

There is a great cry among the people and their wives against their brethren the Jews, signaling communal distress and a sense of injustice within the community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every verse there rests a pattern of consciousness. The great cry of the people and their wives is not a complaint in a city, but the clamor of parts of you seeking alignment. The wives and the people symbolize the feminine and masculine faculties crying out for justice, unity, and love among brethren. When you witness distress, you are only seeing a state of mind that has not yet been assumed as real. The inner governor—Nehemiah—stands for your I AM awareness, choosing to rebuild the inner wall of harmony. The cure is not argument but imagination: assume the feeling that justice and brotherhood prevail now; revise the scene from lack to abundance; feel the unity as a present fact; dwell in the inner city where every soul is cared for. Practice daily: in your awareness, bless the brethren and imagine the community living as one.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, with the I AM as your steadfast witness, assume the feeling that the community is united and just now. Revise the scene in your mind until the cry dissolves into harmony.
