Sitting Before the LORD: Selfhood
1 Chronicles 17:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nathan speaks words to David, and the king sits before the LORD, wondering who he is and what his house has become given God's generosity.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene, the inner drama is a shift in consciousness. Nathan's vision speaks as an inner word that confirms a state already decreed by the I AM within. David’s question of who he is marks a move from seeking status to acknowledging purpose; the kingly role is the outward expression of an inward alignment with divine intention. The house represents the inner structure of beliefs and loyalties that support the crown. When David sits before the LORD, he does not beg for favor but acknowledges providence, recognizing that life has carried him to this place by an invisible covenant. Thus the vision is not a forecast of distant events but a clarion call to present alignment with the truth of being. Read as your own inner practice, the scene invites you to perceive the I AM as sovereign within you, and to let your imagination reveal the authority you already possess. By dwelling in gratitude for what the Lord has brought you to today, you awaken a state from which outward form naturally follows.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, affirm I am the I AM, and acknowledge that I have been brought here by divine providence. Then revise my self-concept so it matches that truth and feel it real.
