Crowning the Inner King
1 Chronicles 23:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David, now old, appoints Solomon as king over Israel, signaling a transfer of leadership to a new generation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the scene as a symbol for your own consciousness. David, aged and full of days, represents the accumulated experiences of your life; in a single act he crowns Solomon, the inner wisdom who shall govern Israel, your entire field of awareness. Solomon is not another person so much as a state of mind ruled by discernment, justice, and calm authority. When you accept that you are now the ruler of your inner kingdom, the inner Israel comes into order: thoughts align, desires become purposeful, and you move with a quiet confidence. The crown is not a title you chase but a recognition of your I AM presence, the awareness that never wanes. This is the Kingdom of God within: a sovereign, peaceful administration established by your deliberate assumption. You do not conjure a future king; you awaken to the king that has always reigned in you, awaiting your invitation to sit on the throne of your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling 'I AM king now'—see the inner throne glow with wisdom—and dwell there for a few minutes. Then let that state revise any sense of lack as you move through the day, knowing the crown already rests on you.
