Return to Inner Worship
1 Chronicles 5:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
They abandoned the God of their fathers and chased after the gods of the land, embodying apostasy and false worship. Such turning away invites consequences and a collapse of true allegiance.
Neville's Inner Vision
To transgress against the God of their fathers is to misplace one's allegiance in the outer. The 'gods of the land' are not separate beings but images your mind uses when it forgets the I AM within. When you chase them—money, status, opinion, or fear—you are only testing your own power, and the illusion answers in kind by undermining you. The verse calls attention to contraction: the moment you turn from the inner light, the outer order seems to fall away, just as those idols collapsed before them. Yet this is not punishment; it is the announced consequence of living in a divided consciousness. Return to the throne of the heart where the I AM presides, and you will see the law of your life rearrange itself around true worship: unwavering loyalty to the one Source, the one God within. In Neville's terms, the world shifts when you re-place your awareness on the self-existent I AM. The moment you accept that you are the sovereign, the 'gods' lose their grip, and what seemed like destruction becomes the clearing of old forms to let your divine reality emerge.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the feeling of I AM as your permanent consciousness. If you notice yourself chasing an idol, revise the scene in your mind to the I AM ruling that moment and feel it real for a minute or two.
