The Inner King Receives Judgment
Psalms 72:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 72 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse asks God to grant the king wisdom and righteousness to guide the king's son, symbolizing the inner self receiving divine governance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you sits a crowned king—the center of awareness that rules your experiences. The petition, Give the king thy judgments... unto the king's son, invites you to let divine discernment and moral order flow to the ruling part of you. God is the I AM in you; the king's son is your next, coming-self—the heightened state you are becoming. When you acknowledge that you are the king and that divine judgments and righteousness can issue from within, you align your inner weather with a law finer than any external command. Your thoughts then become laws that judge wisely, your motives grow just, and your days are ordered by a universal standard of right. This is not a request to an outside ruler, but an invitation to awaken to your own authority, to let the inner governor receive its divine capital. Practice: assume the state of the king who already possesses judgment and righteousness, and watch your outer scene reflect the inner order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and affirm, I am the king; God’s judgments and righteousness flow to me now. Feel the inner governance taking root and the outer world aligning with that order.
