Days, Diet, and Divine Persuasion
Romans 14:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage acknowledges differing views on observing days and foods; each person should be fully persuaded in their own mind, performing all actions unto the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, this text declares there is no external standard pressing upon you from outside. You may notice others arguing over days or meals, but the true reality is the inner assumption you entertain. When you regard a day as holy or ordinary, you are not honoring an outer rule; you are performing an inner alignment. To 'eat unto the Lord' or 'not eat' is simply your mind's way of assigning meaning to appetite as the servant of gratitude. The command to be fully persuaded in your own mind is a call to convict your heart with a certainty that cannot be shaken by appearances. If you imagine that a ritual makes you holy, you have mistaken the law; holiness flows from your aware I AM, the living presence you carry. Begin by recognizing that the same Lord is within all, and the differences you perceive are only different states of consciousness. If you would live free of scruple, revise your inner posture until you feel sufficiency, gratitude, and unity with the divine Lord within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly for 5 minutes and declare, 'I am fully persuaded in my own mind.' Visualize the inner Lord within you approving every choice and feel the gratitude already present.
