Inner Feast of Israel
1 Chronicles 12:39-40 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David and his people share a three-day feast, with friends bringing abundant provisions, producing joy throughout Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
What you read as a historical gathering is a map of consciousness. David stands for the I AM within your mind, gathering every part of you into alignment. The three days symbolize sustained attention to gratitude and abundance, while the feast’s provisions—bread, meat, wine, oil—represent nourishing faculties like belief, generosity, and discernment that your inner state has already prepared. When you govern your mind thus, those nearest to you—your inner allies—bring support and resources without struggle. The joy in Israel is the felt evidence that your inner community is in harmony; Providence is the ongoing, inner revision that turns lack into abundance as your state of consciousness remains fixed on the good. Practice: maintain one dominant assumption—“I am abundantly supplied, and all my circles rally to my good”—and let the corresponding feelings of gratitude permeate your being until your outer world reflects the inner feast.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine three days with David in your mind, surrounded by those who support you; feel abundant provisions arriving and the room filled with joy. Then softly whisper inwardly, 'There is joy in Israel,' allowing that feeling to saturate your heart.
