Ornan's Gift, Your Inner Sacrifice
1 Chronicles 21:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ornan offers the oxen, wood, and wheat for burnt offerings, and David accepts, making the sacrifice complete. The scene presents worship as a total, inner consecration of self.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene your inner king is the I AM, and Ornan’s gift is your own readily available vitality. The oxen, the threshing tools, and the wheat symbolize every faculty you possess—your thoughts, your passions, your time—laid upon the altar of awareness. When Ornan says, take it to thee, he represents the decision of consciousness to place all you are at the disposal of the higher Self. The “burnt offerings” are not meat but the releasing of surfaces in favor of unity; the wood and grain signify the materials of your experience offered in perfect worship. The act of David buying the threshing floor declares ownership of the ground of your mind as sacred space, not to barter with but to consecrate. True worship, then, is not external propriety but inner generosity—the willing letting go of limitation so the I AM may work freely. Holiness and separation dissolve as you discover that abundance follows the complete gift of self to the One you are. In this inner economy, atonement is simply the restoration of wholeness through the decision to worship with all you are.
Practice This Now
Assume you are Ornan offering your entire mental treasury to your inner King. Feel the release as you consecrate the ground of your mind to the I AM and invite abundance to dwell there.
