Scripture Focus

1Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

2And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

1 Samuel 9:1-2

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet of your consciousness, the scene is not history but a mirror of your inner state. Kish and Saul symbolize the outer conditions that accompany the awakening I Am within. Saul’s stature from his shoulders upward reflects the self-aware king in you when you stop seeking power outside and let your awareness recognize its own dominion. The verse’s note of beauty and nobility points to the dignity that already resides in your I Am; it is the inner capital that will govern your life. Providential preparation is not an event somewhere ahead; it is your present state of consciousness preparing a vessel ready to rule. When you identify with the inner king—your true self as the I AM—the external world begins to reflect that sovereign order. Your kingdom is the mind’s authority made visible, a joyful confirmation that you are, here and now, the ruler you seek.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the I AM, king of this life.' Feel the inner crown settle on your head and observe how your outer circumstances begin to mirror that regal state.
