Inner Father of the Fatherless

Neville's Inner Vision

Neville reads this verse as a statement about your own consciousness. The Father of the fatherless and the judge of the widow is not outside you but the I AM standing in your own awareness, the steadiness you carry in every moment. When you imagine God as Father, you are not appealing to someone new; you are awakening the caregiver within your own mind, the unassailable shelter in which every lack resolves. The holy habitation is the condition of your inner state, where thoughts of abandonment or fear cannot persist. In this light, 'father' is the posture of protection that you assume toward every fragment of yourself or life that seems orphaned; 'judge' is the disciplined clarity that discards illusions of lack, issuing a verdict of plenty. By dwelling in this inner state and repeatedly declaring, 'God is my dwelling; I am the Father and the Judge,' you align your outer experiences with your innermost conviction. The world then reflects the order you have established within.
