2 Chronicles 24:22

Biblical Context

Joash forgets the kindness Jehoiada showed him and kills his own son. At his death, he calls on the Lord to judge that act.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard voice, the chronicling is not about a king in time but a state of consciousness within you. When you forget the kindness life has shown—when fidelity to your inner covenant fades—the imagination you govern can turn cold and even destructive toward the seed of your future. The act of slaying the son is the inner consequence of such forgetting: choices born from a mind detached from gratitude, cutting off the next generation of possibility. And when the king dies and utters, 'The LORD look upon it and require it,' you hear the echo of your own inner law: the I AM, the witness, the absolute awareness, guarding and equaling your states. The message is not punishment but alignment: you will live out what you believe you are. If you want to reverse this cycle, assume the opposite state now. Hold memory of the kindness, cultivate gratitude, and imagine the inner covenant as a living, protected realm. Allow the I AM to witness and restore what your heart has neglected.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the keeper of the inner covenant. For the next few minutes, recall a kindness and revise it in imagination so its loyalty remains alive.
