The Jealous Look Within
1 Samuel 18:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Saul's gaze on David marks the onset of jealousy, revealing an inner disposition of the ego clinging to power rather than a mere external scene.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse, the eye Saul casts on David is the ego’s fixation attempting to secure a throne of external power. The Kingdom of God is not a crown to be worn, but an inner awareness you carry. The I AM within you is untouched by any rising figure; jealousy arises when the mind identifies with possession and status. Notice the inner movement as a signal to revise, not a fate to endure. Providence and Guidance show up when you align with awareness rather than fear, allowing the higher order to express through you. Saul’s fixation becomes a cue to awaken to your true governance: you are the watcher, not the threatened ruler. David represents the authentic initiative within—the inner light seeking embodiment in action. By returning your attention to the I AM, you dissolve the illusion of rivalry and enter the kingdom that lives inside you, where all states are creations of consciousness and guided by divine perception.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as observer of Saul's gaze; revise by declaring, 'I am the awareness in which this is seen; jealousy dissolves into providence.' Then feel it real by breathing slowly as you imagine David stepping forward as your inner authority.
