Obededom's Inner Strength
1 Chronicles 26:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These verses name Obed-edom's strong men and their kin as a cohort prepared for service, illustrating a communal store of strength set for temple tasks.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the passage, the 'strong men' are not external soldiers but states of consciousness within you awakening. Obed-edom signifies obedience to the inner law, and the line 'able men for strength for the service' points to disciplined faculties—focus, courage, memory, imagination—mobilized to fulfill inner tasks. When you claim this scripture, God is not distant: He is the I AM within, coordinating your mental energies. The count of sixty-two signals an abundant, ordered array of capacities acting in harmony to serve the inner temple. The service described is an inner vocation: you prepare to act from a centered, fearless awareness rather than from doubt. By assuming you are already that strong company, you align your inner world with divine order and invite outer events to reflect that inner posture.
Practice This Now
Assume: I am the strength for service within. Feel it real by picturing the inner army of your faculties stepping forward in your mind's temple.
