The Built Within: Solomon's Completion

Neville's Inner Vision

To Solomon, finishing the house of the LORD and the king's house signified more than mere architecture; it signaled the harmony of inner states with outer deeds. In the Neville reading, the verse invites you to see every completed project as a visible sign of an already completed state within you. The 'house of the LORD' stands for your I AM—your inner awareness through which all actions are measured. When you assume the end and feel it real, you align your imagination with divine order and the world rearranges to reflect that order. 'Solomon's desire' points to the inner impulse that pleases the self when it is aligned with truth; obedience and faithfulness become fidelity to the true self that builds from within rather than blind conformity. The notion of the 'king's house' and 'kingship and authority' reveals inner sovereignty you exercise when you govern thoughts and feelings by the truth you have assumed. True worship, then, is not ritual but the steady presence of Presence in daily acts, felt as completion already ready to show up as life.
