Inner House of David

1 Chronicles 17:17-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 17 in context

Scripture Focus

17And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
18What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
1 Chronicles 17:17-21

Biblical Context

David acknowledges God’s mighty deeds, his humble standing, and Israel’s unique redemption by God.

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s confession is a map for the soul. In Neville’s terms, the ‘house’ spoken of is your inner structure—the state of your consciousness—now marked by a future grace that God already approves. God regards David according to the estate of a man of high degree, not by present fear or failure, but by the vibrating image of what the soul accepts as real. When David says that all this greatness is done for the servant’s sake and according to God’s heart, he points to the alignment of imagination with the divine intention. Your life, too, unfolds to the measure of your inner agreement with the I AM and its purposes. There is none like Thee speaks not of competition but the absolute sovereignty of your inner awareness. The redemption of Israel becomes your liberation from limitation, a demonstration that the inner vision — cherished as though already completed — shapes outward events. Let this be your model: cultivate a heart that dwells in the truth of your divine birthright, and watch your declared house stand forth in majesty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, repeat the line as if true now: 'God has spoken of my house for a great while to come; I am regarded as one in high estate.' Feel that truth in every cell until it becomes your immediate mood and guide.
