Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context

Scripture Focus

6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

7Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

8And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

9And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read that his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD, understand that this is your inner state shifting into alignment with the I AM. The high places and groves signify stubborn beliefs and desires that exalt the ego above divine order; their removal is a purging of inner idols. The act of sending princes and Levites to teach in every city mirrors your decision to awaken every faculty of consciousness—reason, memory, imagination—to the living law within. The book of the Law, carried with them, stands for the living principle of order that you now carry as your inner standard. As you permit this inner teaching to move through all the domains of mind, you experience a renewal of loyalty to covenant with the divine. This is not merely external reform, but a vivid recalibration of your entire inner life to the truth of your I AM.

Practice This Now

Today, assume the state 'My heart is lifted up in the ways of the LORD' and visualize the Law walking through every room of your mind, removing idol thoughts and awakening each inner faculty to live by the divine order.
