1 Chronicles 9:10-13

Biblical Context

The passage lists the priests and their leaders who oversee the house of God, together with capable workers prepared for its service. It emphasizes order, lineage, and readiness to serve in holy work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner drama the names become states of consciousness: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin mark disciplined attention; Azariah, Hilkiah, Meshullam trace your lineage of trust in the I AM. The ruler of the house of God is the mind’s organizing principle that governs today’s worship, while the very able men are your inner faculties ready to do the temple’s work. This is not history but a call to acknowledge that your inner temple requires order, devotion, and clear vocation. The house of God is your present awareness; its service is the movement of your will into alignment with divine presence. When you stand as the head priest in your own temple, you set the tone for every encounter, knowing holiness is an inner condition of mind, not a distant rule. The presence of God becomes a felt reality as you cultivate reverence, order, and steady labor of love.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the head priest in your inner temple for a moment and revise a troubling thought by affirming I AM here now; feel the space glow with calm, capable service.
