Inner Counsel and Living Law
Exodus 18:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 18:19-20 portrays Moses advised to hearken to God’s guidance, stand as the conduit between the people and God, and teach them the laws and the way they should walk. It sets forth leadership as alignment with the divine order within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the 'I AM' speaks as the living presence guiding leadership. The call to 'bring the causes unto God' is not about petitioning a distant deity, but about turning every outward problem into an inner conversation with the awareness that you are one with God. The people represent your daily problems, duties, and choices; you, the speaker, are the vessel through which God-bestowed wisdom flows. When you hear the counsel, you acknowledge that the power to order your life sits in your own consciousness, and God shall be with you as your continuous inner companion. Teaching ordinances and laws is the act of shaping your inner discipline—cultivating a set of faithful responses, a way of walking that aligns with your true nature. The work you and they must do becomes the habitual thoughts and decisions by which you live. The outer scene of leadership mirrors the inward law you choose to live by, i.e., the pattern of attention and obedience that makes your life coherent and rooted in the divine order.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already guided by the inner counsel; before any decision, whisper, 'I AM guiding me now' and feel the presence shaping the action. Then revise doubt into certainty and let the inner law govern your next move.
