2 Chronicles 28:1

Biblical Context

Ahaz becomes king at 20, reigned 16 years in Jerusalem, but did not do what was right in the LORD's sight, unlike David.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the chronicle of Ahaz is not a tale about a distant king but a mirror of your own inner state. Ahaz’s choice to reign apart from the LORD signifies the stubborn belief that life is powered from without, that policy and power can secure what the heart seeks. The true God—the I AM within—is the awareness that orders your life from the inside. To be 'right in the sight of the LORD' is to align your thought with that inner sovereign, to consent that you are the beloved, guided by the inner David, the image of right ruling in your mind. The length of Ahaz’s reign mirrors the duration of a pattern in your life—calls it sixteen years—until you revise it by returning to the inner king. When you imagine yourself as David’s rightful line, you invite the power that actually fashions conditions. Your imagination is not play; it is the instrument by which you reinstate the kingdom of God within. Rejoice in the I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I AM the KING within me, reigning now in alignment with the I AM.' Feel the inner certainty as if you already are one with that right ruling.
