Inner King, Humble Crown
1 Kings 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon acknowledges his youth and inexperience as king, yet God has placed him on the throne, inviting him to seek guidance.
Neville's Inner Vision
All that is being said in this verse is not a complaint about the flesh but a statement of the inner situation. 'Thou hast made thy servant king' points to a state of consciousness in which you have been enthroned by the I AM as ruler of your inner life. The phrase 'I am but a little child' marks the humility of the beginner, not weakness but the teachable heart that trusts the presence within. When Solomon says 'I know not how to go out or come in,' he reveals the old mechanical self clinging to habit; yet his very humility leaves room for guidance. In Neville's sense, you awaken to the truth that the outer role is a natural expression of an inner state already established by your fidelity to the I AM. The throne exists in consciousness; your decisions and actions proceed from that inner sovereignty. Pray not for more power, but for greater alignment with the divine idea of you, and you will discover wisdom and right discernment flowing as fruits of your inner kingship.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and revise: 'I am the I AM that rules my inner realm; I am king of my life now.' Then hold the feeling of authority and openness to guidance for a minute.
