Read Judges 18 in context

Scripture Focus

4And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

5And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

6And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.

Judges 18:4-6

Biblical Context

Micah’s priest proclaims he serves as their hired guide, while the people ask God for counsel to know if their chosen path will prosper; the reply is an inner assurance: go in peace, for the way is before the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, Judges 18:4–6 speaks of an inner hireling—a belief system you’ve recruited to guide you. The people’s plea for counsel becomes your moment of turning within to the I AM. When the priest declares, 'Go in peace: before the LORD is your way,' he is not promising a distant destination but affirming an inner alignment. The 'way' is the path your awareness already recognizes as blessed when it acknowledges that the LORD is within. To feel it real, you do not chase external outcomes; you inhabit the conviction that your steps are ordered by the divine Presence. The inner priest, your habitual thought, is the tool you use to receive guidance, and the Lord you consult is your own I AM awareness. By assuming prosperity and dwelling in the quiet certainty that the way is before the LORD, you awaken the condition in which decisive action and favorable events unfold as the natural outgrowth of consciousness. This is Neville’s practice: revise your belief, feel the truth now, and live from the end.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: 'The way before the LORD is my way; I am guided and prospering.' Sit with that feeling until it is your dominant sense.
