Inner Tabernacle Charge
Numbers 8:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 8:26 speaks of Levites ministering with their brethren in the tabernacle to keep the charge, doing no other service; it emphasizes a disciplined, communal inner duty within the sacred space.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner sense, you are the Levite and the congregation; the tabernacle is your state of awareness. The verse invites you to forego outward labor and instead stand in fidelity to the charge you hold in consciousness. Your "brethren" are the other facets of yourself gathered within the sanctuary—desires, fears, and higher impulses—all watching as one temple. The charge is the sacred pattern of truth you guard with unwavering attention: focus, obedience, reverence. By keeping the charge, you avoid wasted effort and allow the divine order within to govern outward action. This is true worship: not external rites, but a steady alignment with God inside. As you accept this inner guardianship, states of fulfillment, health, and purpose unfold naturally, for you are fulfilling your role in the inner temple by simply remaining present in I AM.
Practice This Now
Practice: assume you are already fulfilling the inner ministry; revise any sense of lack by declaring, 'I am the keeper of my inner charge.' Then stand in that awareness and feel the presence of God within as your daily reality.
