Clothed in Righteousness, Saints Shout

Neville's Inner Vision

Let this line undo your sense of separation. When you read, 'Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness,' you are not addressing garments but the state of your consciousness. The priests are your inner faculties—discernment, devotion, obedience—arrayed in the garment of rightness because you have accepted a new self-concept. To imagine them clothed with righteousness is to decide, here and now, that you are the kind of person whom life cannot corner with guilt or fear, for you stand in the I AM and the I AM stands in you. The saints who shout for joy are your awakened feelings and your creative power, erupting as proof that the inner state has become habitual. As you fix this conviction, the outer world will mirror it: orderly opportunities, just actions, and a harvest of gratitude. The verse asks you to perform a simple revision: replace any sense of deficiency with the certainty that you are already clothed in righteousness. When you live from that conviction, your inner choir proclaims joy, and your world witnesses accordingly.
