Threshold of Presence
1 Chronicles 13:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Uzza reaches to steady the ark as the oxen stumble; he dies, and David sees a breach. The scene signals sacred boundaries and the costly consequence of misalignment with the Presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
That scene is not about an ancient temple floor alone; it is the inner threshing floor of your own mind. The ark stands for the Presence—the awareness you call God within. Uzza's hand reaching out is the mistaken impulse of the ego in you, the I that believes it can prop and steer the divine current by force. The oxen stumble; the breath of the Lord's anger arises as the inner law asserts you cannot grasp the Presence with the small self and call it safe. The breach named Perezuzza marks a turning point: when your consciousness forgets the natural order, you suffer the consequence in your inner life. The remedy is to align, not resist: assume that you are already in harmony with the Presence; feel that space as steady, sacred, and irrevocable; revise any urge to push outcomes by force; dwell in reverent awareness rather than striving. When you live from the realized I AM, the inner and outer doors open in trust and obedience, and the imagined breach dissolves into seamless presence.
Practice This Now
Stand in quiet before your inner ark and declare I AM the Presence now; feel that reality in your chest. When an impulse to act arises, pause and revise by returning to I AM and letting the felt presence lead.
