Inner Gods, Outer Ruin: 2 Chronicles 28:23

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how this scene reveals a universal law: when you worship powers outside yourself—gods of Damascus, authorities, wealth, or fame—you place your life in their hands. You are tempted to believe they can save you because they appear strong in the moment, but their strength is a license for your own fear and dependency. The I AM—the true you—does not require such idols to feel safe. The ruin spoken of is the consequence of giving reality to anything outside your inner state. If you would avoid it, imagine from within that which you seek as already yours, and feel it real in the present. The inner worship is not denial of the world; it is the discipline of returning attention to the only power that never abandons you: your I AM. Let your mind rest in that awareness and watch as the outer circumstances rearrange to reflect your inner state rather than your plea for external help.
