David's Inner Fear and Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner counsel, the cold whisper of others' verdicts becomes the weather of your mind. The phrase Is not this David the king of the land? calls to the I AM in you: what you are claimed to be by another is your own state you must own. David's fear—laid up these words in his heart and was sore afraid—shows how a man can consent to an external throne by dwelling on words from without. Neville’s reading turns the scene: the kingdom is not a city on a map, but the awareness by which you live. The 'servants' are inner voices, the chorus of circumstance, and the fear arises when you momentarily identify with those voices as your truth. The remedy is simple yet profound: revise the scene in consciousness, assume the state of the king within, and feel it real. See yourself as the I AM sovereign who cannot be dethroned by appearances. Let your imagination confirm your true authority, and the fear dissolves as your inner kingdom awakens to trust, discernment, and peace.
