Scripture Focus

11Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

12And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

13Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

14He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

15Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

16And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

17Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:

18And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

1 Chronicles 28:11-19

Biblical Context

David passes Solomon a Spirit-inspired blueprint for the temple, detailing the patterns, materials, and duties, illustrating how worship is organized and stewarded under divine guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

The pattern here is not brick and gold but the state of your consciousness. David’s Spirit-guided blueprint represents the exact nature of your inner life when you yield to the I AM within. The weights of gold and silver symbolize precise mental investments—thoughts, feelings, and actions measured with disciplined intention. The vessels, courses, and duties are your habitual capacities and sacred activities arranged in order, so your inner temple can support true worship. When the Lord writes the pattern on you, you awaken to your own authority as creator through imagination. The presence of God becomes your acknowledged inner ruler, not a distant force; it flows as you steward the inner treasury with care. By embracing this blueprint in imagination, you align your inner state with outer form, recognizing that abundance and order arise from a disciplined, Spirit-led consciousness. Thus, the temple you build within becomes the living sanctuary of your life, reflecting God in you as you faithfully steward your inner design.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision your inner temple blueprint; with calm certainty, assume the feeling that the pattern is written on your heart now and begin allocating your inner resources as if the plan were already complete.
