Pastures of Inner Peace

1 Chronicles 4:39-43 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 4 in context

Scripture Focus

39And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.
41And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
1 Chronicles 4:39-43

Biblical Context

They seek pasture near Gedor and discover a broad, peaceful land. They drive out previous encampments and settle there, then extend their reach to confront remaining enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the entrance of Gedor marks a state where your flock seeks sustenance; the land wide and quiet is the peace that arises when a long-held occupancy yields to a still, abundant mind. The narrative of Hezekiah's time introducing names who dismantle tents and occupy rooms is the inner revision: you clear the old encampments of doubt and habit, making room for a secure, nourished presence. The march of five hundred from Simeon to Mount Seir reflects the disciplined faculties moving to confront surviving Amalekites—those stubborn residues of fear and limitation that cling to memory. When these inner foes are smitten, they dwelt there, and you dwell there unto this day—an inner kingdom established in consciousness, where your flocks are fed and your peace remains unthreatened. This is not history, but your inner weather, shifting as you imagine and reconstitute the terrain of your mind; a demonstration that your imagination, rightly used, can birth a quiet sovereignty within, the I AM within you expanding the land you deem real.

Practice This Now

Assume you have already moved into this land of peace; feel the ground beneath your feet, the abundance around you, and let the memory of old tents dissolve as you linger in the secure rooms of your mind.
