Inner Feast, True Worship
Zechariah 7:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zechariah 7:6 questions whether you eat and drink for yourselves, exposing worship that serves personal satisfaction rather than true devotion. It points to worship that expresses love of God and neighbor when inner intentions align with unity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Zechariah asks, Are you feasting and drinking for yourselves while you pretend to serve God? In this moment you are asked to perceive that all acts of worship are ways your mind rehearses its own satisfactions. When you hear 'eat' and 'drink' in the temple of your life, notice whether the impulse behind the action is a desire to prove something to others or to quiet your own longing. The I AM within you does not need ritual to validate it; it is the living consent behind every choice. If you replace self-interest with a quiet vow to love God and neighbor, your outward ritual becomes a translation of inner unity. Your community reflects the inner agreement you hold about who you are. The moment you align inwardly, your actions become naturally obedient—no coercion, no fear—only a steady, loving presence. You are not asking for results; you are claiming your native state of harmony, and reality bows to that consciousness.
Practice This Now
Before your next meal, assume the attitude: I eat and drink as a sacred act of unity with God and neighbor. Feel the gratitude as if every bite affirms a shared life; dwell there for a minute.
