The "midst" of something in the Bible represents the thing that is most central and most important to the spiritual state being described, the motivation that drives everything else. In general this will be something we love or feel, because at the core of things we are what we love; our loves define us.

1987. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verse 1 And Abram was a son of ninety-nine years, and Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am God Shaddai; walk before Me and be blameless.

'Abram was a son of ninety-nine years' means the period of time before the Lord fully joined the Internal Man to the Rational Man, 'Abram' meaning the Lord in that state and at that age. 'And Jehovah appeared to Abram' means manifestation. 'And He said to him' means perception. 'I am God Shaddai' means, in the sense of the letter, the name of Abram's God, by means of which the Lord was represented before them at first. 'Walk before Me' means the truth of faith. 'And be blameless' means the good [of charity].
