6Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
1 Chronicles 18:3-6

Biblical Context

David defeats Hadarezer and his allies, seizing chariots and land, then sets garrisons in Damascus. The LORD preserves David wherever he goes.

Neville's Inner Vision

See David as the I AM within you; the outward campaign is the drama of inner states. When you align with the divine center, you gain dominion not by force but by the power of assumption. Your chariots and horsemen symbolize the faculties you choose to mobilize, and to houghed the chariot horses is to discipline energy, keeping a hundred chariots in reserve for purposeful action. The Syrians coming to help Hadarezer are the beliefs or distractions that seek to assist the old story; in your imagination, they are slain and converted into servants of your new order by the quiet will that rules within. Setting garrisons in Damascus becomes the establishment of steady thoughts in the city of Damascus—the place where your defining choices take root. And the closing line: Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went—is your assurance that, when you dwell as awareness itself, Providence accompanies every move. The inner victory precedes outer circumstance; the wealth, gifts, and protection you read about are states you enter by imagining and persisting in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the I AM ruling my life; assume you have its dominion. Feel it real that Providence follows and preserves you wherever you go.
