Read 1 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

8And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

9My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

1 Kings 5:8-9

Biblical Context

Hiram promises cedar and fir timber and to transport it by sea to Solomon's appointed place, while Solomon provides food for his household.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the timber and ships are not external facts but the movements of your inner life. The cedar and fir stand for sturdy thoughts and inspired ideas you order from the inner realm. The sea-journey is the channeling of energy through the subconscious. When you, the I AM within Solomon, declare that you will have these resources and appoint the landing place, you set in motion currents that discharge into your world. The phrase 'thou shalt receive them' confirms your inner setting is already funded: your desired state appears for your household as nourishment and provision. The journey from Lebanon to the sea marks the shift from high aspiration to practical manifestation, from concept to concrete form. Your inner king makes an arrangement with the Higher Power to bring supply where you ordain. Wealth, provision, and generosity unfold as expressions of a consciousness that has chosen abundance and acts from that decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit with eyes closed, affirm 'I am the source and disposer of all I need' and imagine ships bearing timber and food docking at your inner harbor; feel the reality of abundance already fulfilled and carry that feeling into your daily life.
