Sparing The Anointed: Inner Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

The scene speaks not of a historical clash but of a consciousness practice. The line The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness reveals a law of inner life: you are what you habitually hold as true. David’s restraint is not merely moral—it's a decision made in awareness. Saul stands before him as an outer expression of inner authority, a projection of the divine I AM within, and David’s refusal to strike is an affirmation of that inner sanctity. When he says the LORD delivered thee into my hand, he is acknowledging that circumstances reflect the state of consciousness, and that mercy proves the more powerful inner stance. To live this is to recognize the other as an anointed presence within your own awareness, worthy and righteous in the eyes of your I AM. This is the practical psychology of mercy: see the danger as already addressed by your spiritual width, and choose compassion over vengeance. Practice this by confirming in your heart that you render righteousness and faithfulness to every moment that arises.
