Inner King: Ruling by Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse the inner ruler is not a political office but your own state of consciousness. The God of Israel who speaks is the I AM that governs every movement of your awareness. To rule justly, you must hold thoughts, choices, and desires in alignment with divine order—the fear of God is the reverent attention of the mind that refuses to permit self-serving images to govern reality. When that alignment is secured, you rise like the light of dawn, free from clouds, and the inner landscape becomes tender grass springing up after rain—renewal and clarity flood your perception. The covenant speaks of an everlasting agreement your awareness makes with itself: salvation and desire rest in the certainty that your inner commitments are ordered in all things, even when outward appearances seem to resist. The sons of Belial are the unruly habits and restless thoughts; they cannot be touched by force, but require the iron fence of disciplined imagination, the spear of steady focus, and the fire of inner purification that burns away what is false. Dwell in this inner government, and life will reflect that light and covenant.
