Inner Reward Of Righteousness

Psalms 18:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 18 in context

Scripture Focus

20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psalms 18:20-21

Biblical Context

The speaker claims that God rewards him according to his righteousness and the cleanliness of his hands, because he has kept the ways of the LORD and not departed from his God.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the memory of this psalm you are not reading about a distant reward hung on the future. The LORD you speak of is the I AM within your own consciousness, the steady awareness that never departs from truth. When you acknowledge that you have kept the ways of the LORD—by aligning your thoughts with integrity, your actions with love, and your desires with divine order—you awaken a state that recompenses itself. The 'righteousness' spoken of is the inner order of your mind, the cleanness of your hands a symbol of pure motive and consistent conduct. The Law does not hand you favors from without; it mirrors the state you hold within. Therefore, claim now that you have walked in the LORD's ways, and feel the recompense as a present assurance—the sense that you are protected, guided, and supported by your own I AM. As you dwell in that state, outward conditions respond in harmony, confirming that you live by the divine decree written in your own heart. This is the inner economy of the kingdom.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already righteous in your inner life, and feel the I AM rewarding you now. Repeat the reframe: 'I keep the ways of the LORD; I am at one with the divine order.'
