Inner Master Craftsman Within
1 Kings 7:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon sends for Hiram from Tyre; a skilled brass-worker from Naphtali arrives and completes his crafted works, embodying wisdom and deftness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Solomon's act of sending for Hiram marks the moment your own I AM calls forth the hidden craftsman within. Hiram— a Tyrian master, gifted in brass—represents the inner faculty in you that holds wisdom, discernment, and the skill to shape form from intention. The lineage and the reference to Naphtali remind you that this power arises from your own unassuming origins, not from outward prestige. When you accept that you already possess the cunning to work all works in brass, you stop seeking elsewhere and begin the inner workshop of your life. The 'widow's son' signifies doubt kept quiet by attention, and awareness becomes the foundry where impressions are melted and reshaped into living fact. The verse invites you to imagine your decisiveness and craft aligning with your will, so that every project is wrought with grace and clarity. By dwelling in this assumption, your inner Hiram steps into service, and your external world begins to reflect a life formed by wisdom, discernment, and purposeful action.
Practice This Now
Imagine yourself as Hiram, the master craftsman, stepping into your inner workshop. Feel the tool of insight in your hand and watch a present difficulty become a finished brass piece under your touch.
