The Inner Judge Jeremiah 20:12

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the Lord of hosts as the I AM within you, the steady, all-seeing consciousness that knows the truth you cannot deny. To 'triest the righteous' means you are not shy of inner scrutiny; you are willing to let your inner state be weighed, your motives revealed, until nothing but integrity remains. When Jeremiah says God 'seest the reins and the heart,' he is teaching that your inner reins—the controls by which you guide your life—and your true feelings are under the gaze of the divine Self that you truly are. The call for vengeance becomes a call to alignment: let the conditions reflect your settled state of justice. By opening his cause to the Lord, Jeremiah emphasizes that you name your petition to the consciousness that already holds your good. In your present practice, assume that the I AM has rendered judgment in your favor, not against others, but toward the realization of your rightful state. Your task is to shift from fear or grievance to the quiet certainty that you are seen, weighed, and found righteous within.
