Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 1:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

7In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

8And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

9Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

10Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

2 Chronicles 1:7-10

Biblical Context

God appears to Solomon at night and invites him to ask for anything; Solomon requests wisdom to govern this great people.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet night of awareness, God is the I AM presenting you with a question you already know the answer to: what state will you live from? Solomon's request for wisdom and knowledge is a declaration that the mind rules and the heart guides. The people Solomon speaks of are the inner thoughts, actions, and choices you encounter; the dust of the earth is the vast field of experiences your consciousness walks among. To govern is to govern your state of consciousness, not to petition from without. When you assume the consciousness of the wise ruler, you do not seek wisdom but wake it. Your inner throne sits in the I AM, and through discernment you move through life with calm clarity, judging rightly, acting with love, and ordering perception so that all outward events reflect your inner order. The divine appearance is you, awakening to your own authority to bless and guide your life. You are Solomon whenever you rest in the knowing of your own wisdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In quiet, imagine the night when God asks, 'Ask what I shall give thee.' Affirm, 'I am wise now,' and answer from your heart as though you already know the right course, then feel the certainty.
