I AM's Grief Over Saul

1 Samuel 15:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 15 in context

Scripture Focus

10Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
11It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
1 Samuel 15:10-11

Biblical Context

God declares regret that Saul has not followed His commandments; Saul's kingship is off-course, and Samuel grieves and prays.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner theater, the Lord is the I AM who remembers the original covenant with life. The word It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king is not a history lesson but a signal: you have imagined a king—an outward order or pattern of power—that has strayed from following me, from obeying the inner law. When Saul turns back from following me, the inner atmosphere shifts; regret appears as a sign that an old decision no longer serves the living reality of your consciousness. Samuel's grief is the faithful image within you that refuses to accept a broken alignment and thus fasts and prays—out of the inner night you cry to the Lord with persistence. Neville’s reading says: the 'commandments' are your constant inner promises; to disobey is to permit a thought-form to govern your experience. The cure is not damnation but revision: hold fast to the conviction that you are now aligned with the I AM, and imagine obedience, not lack, turning your inner clock back toward truth. The Lord’s repentances point you toward a return to the original governor of your life: your own awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are now fully obeying your inner law; feel the I AM guiding you, and revise your self-image by declaring, 'I am following the inner commandments now,' until that feeling is real.
