Judges 2:7

Biblical Context

Judges 2:7 describes a people who faithfully served the LORD throughout Joshua’s life and the elders who witnessed his deeds, signaling enduring obedience under strong leadership.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 2:7 is a lesson in the inner continuity of worship. The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that He did for Israel. In Neville's reading, the 'people' are states of consciousness; 'the LORD' is the I AM you are aware of. Joshua and the elders symbolize early, stable images of God-life within you—the moments you recognized the Lord's acts and resolved to align with them. The days of Joshua are living from that spiritual aligned state; those who outlived Joshua are later adjustments of consciousness that keep faith alive. The great works are inner demonstrations—the constant results of an imagination faithfully directed. To serve the LORD is to remain in reverent awareness, to obey the inner impulse, and to trust that the works are in you now, not somewhere over there. If you keep faith with that inner state, worship endures beyond any single phase of your mind.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and affirm, 'I am the I AM, serving the LORD now.' Revise any sense of lack by dwelling on one inner demonstration you want to prove today, and feel it real with your whole being for a few breaths.
