Inner Kingship and Comfort

1 Kings 1:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 1 in context

Scripture Focus

6And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
1 Kings 1:6

Biblical Context

The verse presents a favored, well-regarded son, whose birth follows Absalom and who is never displeasing to his father.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the narrative is not about a mere prince and a coup in a distant palace, but about the inner man. The father who is never displeased represents the I AM, the infinite awareness that never condemns your being. When you are not displeased with yourself, you stand in the state of the goodly, radiating a calm dignity that others perceive as strength. 'Very goodly' points to the inner image you hold of yourself; when you regard yourself as a luminous and worthy creature, you embody that image in action. The clause 'born after Absalom' signals a spiritual rebirth following upheaval or rebellion within the mind. After the energy of revolt, a new self arises, more aligned with divine order and rooted in acceptance rather than banter or blame. By presuming this state—belonging to the family of the I AM—you set in motion events that reflect that inner reality: decisions become wise, authority rests on inner balance, and your outer life mirrors your inner radiance. You are not seeking favor; you are the favor, the favor you grant yourself by consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the feeling of being approved by your inner Father now; revise a memory of error by hearing, 'You have not displeased me,' and feel a new, goodly self born after your Absalom within.
