Read 2 Chronicles 34 in context

Scripture Focus

1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

2 Chronicles 34:1-2

Biblical Context

Josiah begins his reign at eight and rules thirty-one years. He does what is right in the LORD's sight, walking in David's ways without turning aside.

Neville's Inner Vision

Josiah is not merely a king of flesh and stone, but the I AM crowned within your consciousness. The eight-year-old start signals the newborn awareness that you have the throne of your interior life, and the thirty-one years signify the sustained practice of that awareness through time. When the text says he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, translate it as alignment with the Principle I AM—the single, ruling consciousness that expresses as your world. Walking in the ways of David his father becomes following the living lineage of your higher self—the kingly intelligence that loves truth, keeps faith, and acts from certainty. To decline neither to the right hand nor the left is the discipline of imagination: once you affirm your state of right action, you do not permit fear, doubt, or distraction to derail you. The external chronicle mirrors your inner conviction: as you dwell in the feeling that you are established in right order, your life reorganizes to reflect that inner reign. This is the secret: your present moment is the throne room; your assumptions determine the reign you experience.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: 'I am the rightful ruler of my life, and my actions bow to the I AM.' Feel it in your chest as certainty, and stay with that feeling until your next decision reflects steadfastness.
