The Inner King Over Idols

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Jeremiad’s royal court of verse, you are invited to notice that the only real king is the I AM within. When the text proclaims there is none like unto the Lord, it is not a historical boast but a mirror for consciousness: the more you awaken to your own inner sovereignty, the less the glitter of Tarshish silver or Uphaz gold can govern you. Idols are not merely statues; they are beliefs formed by the mind—the stock, the doctrine of vanities, the picture of power outside yourself. The wise men of the nations may parade their robes, but their riches are symbols of an inner lack. Contrast this with the true worship that flows from recognizing God as the great name in might inside you. Your fear, your care for appearances, your longing for security—all of it is a movement in consciousness responding to the impression that power lies outside. But the Lord of your heart is the only king that endures; the outer world serves that ruler only as you consent. To live is to turn away from vanity and to feel the indwelling I AM as sovereign now.
