20Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the sand by the sea is not a geographical border but the boundless sands of your own consciousness. Judah and Israel are the many states of awareness you entertain—the busy, joyful, longing, generous ways you live from moment to moment. The nourishment of eating and drinking is the energy you allow when you feel supported by a laws of abundance within. Solomon, king over all kingdoms, is the I AM within you—the steady, unwavering ruler of your inner dominion. The rivers and borders symbolize the edges you once believed existed between yourself and the world; your inner king does not fear them but merges them into a single realm of sovereignty. The gifts and service offered day by day are the fruit of your consciousness when it reigns in truth; they are not external favors but expressions of the assumption that you already stand on the throne of life. When you acknowledge this inner sovereignty, wealth and provision flow from the invisible to the visible, and the Kingdom of God becomes your present, breathing awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume you are the Solomon of your life—on the throne of awareness, reigning over every condition. Feel the air of abundance and revise any sense of lack by imagining gifts and supportive acts flowing to you now.
