Presence of the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

View this verse as a statement about consciousness. All Israel and Judah loved David not for a showy gesture but because his presence moved before them. In Neville's language, David is a state of consciousness—the I AM—that goes out into life and comes back into awareness. When you go out, you project a calm, decisive intention into the world; when you come back, you rest in the inner sanctuary of your own awareness, renewed and certain. The love you observe in others mirrors the vibrational center you maintain. The Presence of God is not far away but active in the moment you govern your thoughts and feelings by the kingly principle. The Kingdom of God appears as harmony flowing through daily action, a felt authority that rests in compassion. Your outward steps become the sign of an inner kingly posture; the world responds with affection because you have remembered who you are—the I AM presiding over your life and weaving all events into order.
