Secret Shelter of Awareness
1 Samuel 19:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonathan warns David that Saul intends to kill him and urges him to seek safety and hide in a secure place until morning.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jonathan's warning to David is not a history lesson but a mirror for your inner state. Saul, the hunter, is the pursuing fear within your mind; Jonathan, the loyal son, is your inner vow to God—your I AM awareness—that loves the David within you. When he says, 'take heed to thyself until the morning,' he invites you to withdraw attention from the daytime chase and enter the secret place of your consciousness where the outer voice cannot reach. In Neville's language, the scene asks you to revise the story you tell yourself about threat. Assume the identity of David, the true Self who is beloved by the 'Jonathan' of inner loyalty; recognize that death-threats are only thoughts arising in consciousness, not facts in being. By hiding in the secret place—feeling your I AM as unmoved—you transmute fear into quiet certainty. The morning represents a new phase of awareness arising from within, not from changing circumstances. Your creative power is to dwell in that hidden room where you are known and protected by God, the I AM that you are.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine a secret, quiet chamber within you where you are unseen by the outer chase. In that place, declare, 'I am safe now; nothing can threaten the I AM within me'.
