No Flattery, Only Maker

Neville's Inner Vision

View Job 32:22 as a lesson in the distinction between names and the I AM that names them. Flattery here is not polite speech but a habit of clinging to a self-image—an outward title you think will please God and prove your importance. Yet the I AM within you does not answer to titles; it answers to awareness itself. When you offer flattering labels, you obscure the inner Maker who already dwells as your being. The verse points to humility—not as self-degradation, but as alignment with the truth of your consciousness. The Maker is not a distant judge but your own state of awareness, the I AM that observes, sustains, and expresses through you. To honor the Maker is to honor the power you are right now, by choosing presence over puffery. So, instead of shaping God to fit your self-image, you dissolve the old self you’ve been clinging to and let the inner reality take its rightful place in your life. Your integrity and obedience become the practice of letting the inner Maker speak through your life, without titles.
