Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 1:4

Biblical Context

David moves the ark of God from a distant place to a tent he prepared in Jerusalem, symbolizing bringing divine presence into the heart as a deliberate act of worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the ark stands for the I AM, the living Presence within you. David’s act of bringing the ark from Kirjathjearim to the tent he prepared is an inner decision to relocate awareness from a neglected corner of consciousness into the central field of your heart. Kirjathjearim represents forgotten or resisting states; Jerusalem—where the tent is pitched—becomes the inner throne room where attention, faith, and imagination are fixed. The tent is your stable imaginative space where the Presence can dwell, not as a distant idea but as a lived reality. True worship, then, is this covenant loyalty: consistently treating imagination as the actual fact of being, letting the I AM inhabit your inner life and reflect outwardly. The outer world bends to this inward arrangement as your consciousness aligns with the truth you have chosen to dwell upon.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: The I AM now dwells in the tent of my heart. Imagine the ark occupying that inner Jerusalem; feel its presence as real and notice your life begin to reflect that inner dwelling.
