2 Chronicles 34:31-33

Biblical Context

Josiah stands before God and binds himself to walk with the LORD, keeping His commandments with all his heart and soul, and to lead those around him to do the same. He removes the abominations and maintains faithfulness to the LORD all his days.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the covenant is not a treaty etched in parchment alone but a state of consciousness declared by the king within. When I read, 'to walk after the LORD, to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul,' I hear the I AM announcing a demand upon my inner life: alignment with divine law as my natural function. The king standing in his place is the ruler of my inner kingdom, the conscious I who chooses what I will allow into my thoughts, feelings, and habits. The words of the covenant written in this book become the inner script by which I order every day: thoughts that obey, sentiments that testify to truth, and acts that reflect holiness. Josiah's removal of abominations is the clearing of inner clutter—releasing limiting beliefs and attachments that oppose the divine order. By causing all who are present in Jerusalem to stand to it, he models a life that others can imitate, showing that collective life follows inner alignment. And, as long as they did not depart from the LORD, the inner kingdom remained intact, steady in conviction and action.

Practice This Now

Take a 2-minute moment now: in your imagination, stand in the throne room of I AM and declare, 'I walk after the LORD with all my heart and soul.' Immediately revise any lingering fear or habit by dissolving it in light and affirming the covenant anew.
