Inner Sovereignty Of Life
1 Samuel 2:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses declare that the Lord governs life, death, poverty, and riches, lifting some up and bringing others low.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville Reader, these lines disclose the rhythm of your own consciousness. The Lord who killeth and maketh alive is the I AM within you, the steady mover of your inner weather. When you feel life rising or slipping away, you are simply witness to an inner state shifting—your imagination operating as the life-giving force. Wealth and poverty appear as the two poles of consciousness you entertain: one moment you center in scarcity and fear; the next you anchor in abundance and gratitude. Providence is not a distant decree but the immediate power of awareness that lowers or elevates your sense of value, your health, your resources. You are not a spectator; you are the speaker, the law, and the manifestation. By ceasing to identify with the outer scene and returning to the I AM, you permit the inner level to translate into outer experience. The verse invites you to trust the sovereign balance of your inner kingdom, recognizing that no state is final unless you consent to it with your imagination.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that you are the life-giving, abundant being right now; revise any sense of lack as a temporary wobble in your inner weather. Let the feeling of 'I AM' settle into your heart tonight and carry you into the next moment.
