Inner Justice Over Sacrifice
Proverbs 21:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses teach that pursuing justice and inner righteousness is more pleasing to the Lord than outward sacrifices; pride and self-exalting attitudes are sin.
Neville's Inner Vision
To do justice and judgment is to align your entire being with the state of true discernment—an inner righteousness that flows from the I AM you are awareness of. In the inner theater, sacrifices are only symbols for a mind that has not touched the living reality of its own creation. The Lord of your life is not a distant figure but the I AM within you, the consciousness that judges, chooses, and loves through you. When you prize appearance—a high look or a proud heart—you reveal a mind that feels separate from others and from the unity of life. That inner attitude is the seedbed of what you call the plowing of the wicked, for you reap from your inner soil as you move thoughts and deeds to judge and control others. The command is simple: cultivate justice in your inner courtroom; revise the self that claims superiority, and let humility become your standard. In this light, sacrifice fades and the inner conviction of justice becomes your daily reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the feeling of inner justice as your present reality, and in any encounter revise your stance to I AM judging justly with mercy.
