Growth in Favor: Samuel 2:26

Neville's Inner Vision

Samuel's growth is your inner growth. The child represents your newborn awareness, the I AM, rising out of sleep into wakefulness. 'Grew on' signals a slow, sure maturation of your state; you become more settled in the conviction that you are attended by God. 'Favored by the LORD' is not a distant privilege but the inner sense that God’s presence attends your every thought and feeling. 'And also with men' is the outer silence of the world answering the inner state; as you reside in the awareness of your divine sonship, people respond with kindness, trust, and harmony. The two favors are one; when you are conscious of the I AM, that consciousness radiates into your relationships and circumstances. The law you are learning is simple: assumption makes the reality. Do not chase approval, assume it already yours, feel its steady warmth, and revise any sense of lack. Your inner Samuel grows by faith, discipline, and quiet listening until the outer world bears witness to your inner alignment. The presence of God becomes the presence you see in others, and the two become an outward blessing.
