Inner Righteousness Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

The LORD in this reading is the I AM within you, not a distant judge, but the measure of your conscious state. When the psalmist speaks of reward according to righteousness and the cleanness of hands, you are being shown the inner law at work: life responds to the state you occupy in awareness. To 'keep the ways of the LORD' and not depart from God is to maintain a steady inner allegiance—thoughts, feelings, and choices that harmonize with divine order. 'All His judgments were before me' means you carry divine judgments in mind, allowing them to govern your decisions. 'I was upright before Him' indicates a fixed inner posture of integrity, and 'kept myself from mine iniquity' signals releasing fear, guilt, and separation that dim the true self. The result—reward according to righteousness in His sight—manifests as harmony, clarity, and a sense of being guided by an intimate divine law. When you dwell in that state, your outer world reflects your inner alignment.
