Remembering the Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 43 shows God delivers them many times, even as their inner counsel leads them into bondage. In Neville’s frame, these characters are not far-off people but states of consciousness that rise, resist, and seek freedom. The repeated deliverance shows that the law of awareness remains active while the mind plays out its loops. Verse 44 makes the turning point: when the soul cries to be heard, the I AM regards the affliction—awareness attending to its own longing. Verse 45 then declares the covenant renewed by a multitude of mercies; not because the divine tenor changes, but because consciousness remembers its own vow to deliver itself. The inner covenant is the assurance that no matter how often you fall into pattern, you can revise toward mercy by returning to the original premise of you as the I AM. Therefore, the drama of deliverance is an inner drama that you, as awareness, rehearse and restore. Your cries are not pleas to a distant God but invitations to awaken to what you already are: the merciful, remembering I AM.
