Scripture Focus

2 Kings 16:16

Biblical Context

The verse states that Urijah the priest acted exactly as King Ahaz commanded. It highlights obedience to a royal directive.

Neville's Inner Vision

I read that Urijah, the priest, moved according to all that the king commanded. In my consciousness, the priest is my imaginative faculty, always ready to carry out the decree I accept as real. The king is the ruling belief within me—the sense that some power other than God governs my life. When I identify with this scene, I ask: whose command am I obeying in my life today? Do I submit to fear-based images that pretend to rule me, or do I heed the inner king—the I AM within, the sole decree of reality? Neville teaches that I am the one who commands by what I assume to be true. I revise any belief that limits me and feel it real that the inner king now issues a fresh decree: health, prosperity, peace. The priest then obediently implements this new command, not to please a man, but as the expression of the divine I AM I am discovering as source of all action. Thus, the verse becomes a practical reminder: align your inner priest with the inner king, and your external world follows.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the I AM within; the inner king now commands my life.' Visualize your inner priest carrying out this decree with calm faith.
