Inner Reign of Jehoshaphat

Neville's Inner Vision

Jehoshaphat's reign is a symbol of your inner state. The king's rule begins when you acknowledge you are the I AM, the observer who never loses sight of the divine standard. To walk in the way of Asa is to choose a lineage of disciplined thought: fidelity to a tested pattern of truth, consistency in right action, and a calm refusal to be swayed by appearances. When the text says he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, it speaks of aligning every choice with the inner standard you hold about yourself—that you are upright, just, and faithful to the spiritual order. The length of his reign speaks of the stability of such a state when lived as a steady feeling-tone, not a passing mood. The outer life—Judah, Jerusalem, and the years of rule—becomes the natural expression of an interior conviction. You, too, can cultivate a similar reign by resting in the conviction that you are already right with the divine in you, and let outer events confirm that inner alignment.
