Inner Restoration: Nehemiah 1:7
Nehemiah 1:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a confession that the people have corrupted themselves by not keeping the commandments, statutes, or judgments given by Moses. It points to a need for repentance and faithful covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us interpret this as a scene in the mind, not a historical complaint. The 'we' is your states of consciousness, and 'thee' is the living I AM within you. The charge 'we have dealt corruptly' is the recognition that certain habitual thoughts and feelings have wandered from the law you hold as true. The 'commandments' are the intrinsic laws of your being—your alignment with your divine nature. When you say you have not kept them, you reveal the internal separation between what you are and what you intend to be. Moses represents the old self or conditioning that once served as guide. The remedy is not guilt but revision: return to the I AM who commands and maintains order. In your imagination, you choose to align now—to obey the inner law, to let your awareness dwell with fidelity, gratitude, and mercy. As you persist in this revised stance, the feeling of separation dissolves and your inner landscape moves toward obedience and covenant loyalty, manifesting as renewed peace, clarity, and fruitful action.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and adopt the assumption: 'I AM faithful to every commandment within me.' Feel it real for several breaths, then carry this revised sense into present action.
