Inner Bribery and Justice
Micah 7:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Micah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Micah 7:3 speaks of leaders who act with ulterior motives for reward, symbolizing inner greed and justification. It points to how inner faculties govern judgment and justice, urging a shift toward integrity within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider Micah 7:3 as a map of the inner government that governs your life. The prince, the judge, and the great man are not distant rulers but faculties of consciousness: desire, discernment, and will. When they act earnestly for a reward, they wrap the mind in a cloak of self-interest and practice evil by habit, justifying it as protection or policy. In this light, judgment is not a court outside you but the moment when your thoughts drift toward external payoffs, away from the Law that you are the I AM. The dream of gain becomes the veil that hides the truth: you are not separate from life’s law but the one feeling and imagining its terms. When you refuse to be ruled by this bribery, you awaken the real authority—the awareness that you are the Source, the "I" that knows justice, not merely the appearance of it. As you align with the I AM, the craving for reward dissolves, and integrity becomes your natural motion.
Practice This Now
Pause when you notice a motive for reward; revise by affirming, "I am the I AM; all action in me serves justice." Then imagine the inner prince, judge, and great man bowing to this truth, and feel the shift as integrity rises to the surface.
