From Wrath to Righteousness Within

James 1:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read James 1 in context

Scripture Focus

20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
James 1:20

Biblical Context

The verse declares that human anger cannot produce the righteousness of God. It points to a deeper inner alignment as the true source of right conduct.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the law of consciousness, the outer scene of anger is but the effect of an inner state. The wrath of man is not an agent of God's righteousness; it is a misalignment of your I AM with the universal order. When you react in wrath, you are declaring separation from the divine pattern. The righteousness of God is simply that inner harmony in which your awareness recognizes itself as the I AM that governs experience. To change the effect, do not battle the anger; revise the state you are inhabiting. Assume, in imagination, the very state of righteous being—calm, discerning, loving justice—and feel it as real now. Say to yourself, I AM harmony complete, and dwell there until the impulse to wrath dissolves. As you persist, the atmosphere around you shifts and circumstances begin to respond to your inner alignment. Then James 1:20 is fulfilled in experience: your inner peace yields outer righteousness.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes and breathe, then declare I AM harmony now and feel it real for a few minutes, especially when anger arises; afterward, picture the offending person already aligned with divine order.
