In the Hands of the Living God

Neville's Inner Vision

Simply put, the Lord in this verse is your own awareness, the I AM that you are. Vengeance and recompense are not external punishments waiting to strike, but the natural reactions of your deepest beliefs about yourself. If you fear the hands that judge, you are still clinging to a separate self who is judged. When you align with the truth that you are the I AM, the sense of danger vanishes, and the so-called vengeance becomes a correction of misperception inside you. The Lord shall judge his people is your inner law of coherence: your thoughts, feelings, and imaginations must be brought into harmony with divine principle. Use this not as a threat, but as an invitation to return to wholeness. The fear you feel is the signal that you have slipped into a scene of separation; collapse it by assuming that you are entirely governed by wisdom that loves you and never abandons you. In that state, the hands are the living presence of God within, and you are safe in the eternal now.
