Lighten The Inner Yoke
2 Chronicles 10:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeroboam and Israel approach Rehoboam to ease the heavy servitude laid by his father. They promise to serve him if the burden is lightened.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's reading, Jeroboam and Israel are aspects of your own consciousness, pressing for relief from an inherited belief that life must be weighted with obligation. Rehoboam embodies your current state of awareness, the active ruler whose decisions shape your inner weather. The grievous yoke is not a chain outside you but a long-held premise you have accepted as real—that life must be hard, that service is costly, that power comes only through submission to authority. When you hear, 'ease thou somewhat,' you are being invited to revise that premise and to demand a lighter rule. The deliverance comes not by changing external form but by changing what you assume to be true about yourself. If you accept a new premise—that you are governed by a gentler, liberating law—your inner Israel will align with Jeroboam's call and pledge service to the new king who affirms your ease. The moment you decide to rule from a lighter, freer consciousness, your life follows the inner direction you have assumed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume a new state now: 'I am free; my burdens are light.' Feel the inner governor shift toward ease and notice a lightness in your mental yoke, as if the kingdom within has loosened its grip.
