Inner Statutes of Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines are not external rules but inner states of consciousness. The statutes are the rightness of your I AM, the feelings that align heart with its divine order. When you assume this rightness, the heart rejoices and perception comes into clear light, for eyes are enlightened by alignment with truth. The fear of the LORD is clean—a reverence for the law within you that endures because it is constant, not swayed by appearances. The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether, meaning your inner verdicts, formed from your higher self, become just and steady. To desire them more than gold is to prize inner wealth over outward gain; sweetness beyond honey is the note of a life sweetened by trust in the inner standard. By them thy servant is warned: inner warnings nudge you to revise belief and drop lack. And in keeping of them there is great reward: life flows in harmony with its own truth, a lucid, unforced state of being.
