The Inner Uprightness Manifest
2 Samuel 22:24-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage states that the speaker was upright before God, kept himself from iniquity, and was recompensed according to his righteousness and cleanness in God's sight.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 22:24 speaks not to a past event, but to a state of awareness. The statement I was upright before Him declares that in the theatre of consciousness you stand as integrity, untouched by illusions. The phrase I have kept myself from mine iniquity is your decision in the imagination to withdraw support from any self-image that claims separation from the divine order. When you persist in that inner choice, the law answers not with punishment, but with recompense—the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his sight. In Neville’s art, recompense is the natural effect of a consistent state of consciousness. Your outer world becomes an echo of your inner alignment: acts, circumstances, relationships rearrange to mirror your inner purity. The present moment, not the past, is the time of your reward. So imagine with assurance that you are now upright, now clean in the sight of God, and watch as life rearranges to reflect that truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of being upright and clean before God. Feel that reality as present now, revise any sense of guilt, and watch for a sign in your day that reflects your inner alignment.
