Sanctuary of Divine Providence
1 Samuel 22:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David moves his parents to Moab for protection and asks the king to shelter them until he learns what God will do for him. He then keeps them with the king while he remains in the hold.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the scene is not about geography but about your inner geography. David’s action—moving his parents into secure hands while he waits for a divine word—is a move in consciousness. He declares, 'till I know what God will do for me,' which is not a plea for help from without but a vow of inner alignment. The I AM, the God within, becomes the shelter. The outer refuge—the king of Moab and the hold—represents the provisional structures of life; the true sanctuary remains the inner state you occupy while you await manifestation. When you inhabit the same state of trust, you are not denying reality but aligning with the certainty that Providence is already arranging the next scene. You may enlist worldly help while keeping your attention on the spiritual source, until your awareness is ready for the next image to emerge. Practice this daily: assume you are already held by a benevolent power, and let your thoughts reflect the calm you seek, regardless of present appearances.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine your loved ones peacefully sheltered by the I AM; then revise your current situation by declaring, 'I am guided and protected by divine provision now.'
