Inner Justice For The Servant
Deuteronomy 24:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 24:14 commands not oppressing a hired servant who is poor or needy, whether from kin or strangers, within your gates. It safeguards human dignity and fair dealing as a social principle.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the I AM that you are, you are not merely commanding others; you are honoring every inner state that serves your life. The hired servant in this verse is a symbol of any aspect of consciousness that feels poor, needy, or underpaid. To oppress him is to bind yourself in fear, guilt, and the illusion of lack. The prohibition extends to both your ‘brethren’ and your ‘strangers’—the familiar and the unfamiliar parts of you—reminding you that all inner helpers arise from the same life within. When you believe yourself separate from these parts, you experience coercion and scarcity; when you recognize that all interior movements come from the divine I AM, you treat them with justice. Your gate is awareness; to honor every state is to honor your own wholeness. As you cultivate this inner justice, you release the power that creates your reality and invite unity, abundance, and peace into your life.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of complete abundance now: imagine the inner servant being paid fairly and treated with respect. Hold that feeling until it becomes your natural state, then observe how your inner world aligns with justice and bounty.
