Biblical Context

David, seeing Solomon’s youth, envisions a magnificent temple for the LORD and resolves to provide abundant preparations before his death.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard style: The outward house David speaks of is an inner temple you carry within—your state of worship, your alignment with the I AM. When he mentions Solomon is young and tender, you hear a fresh, unconditioned consciousness ready to bear magnificence. The phrase 'exceeding magnifical' points to a consciousness that does not fear glory; it is the recognition that grandeur is a natural expression of your inner I AM. The grand preparation is your sustained imaginative act: provide the resources of your thoughts, assent to a reality not yet seen by the senses. As you prepare abundantly before death, practice now the art of living as if the temple already stands—feeling, not striving; present presence rather than future pursuit. This is true worship: to steward attention, gather the materials of faith, gratitude, and love, and keep them ready for manifestation of the divine in your life. The Presence of God is the awareness that you are already the temple, and the world is only the echo of your inner preparation.
