Biblical Context

Solomon acknowledges God's mercy to David and that he now reigns in his stead.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s words are not a distant confession but a charge to your own inner life. He speaks to the God within as the I AM, acknowledging that mercy given to David becomes the energy that now governs his own reign. In Neville terms, mercy is a state of consciousness that flows through your being and transforms your sense of rulership. The switch from 'David my father' to 'in his stead' signals that the old self is consciously superseded by a higher self that reigns in awareness. The line carries Covenant loyalty: fidelity to the inner divine order that knows you as king by right of consciousness and relationship to the source. Providence appears as the steady, subtle guidance of awareness rather than a far-off event; it is the feeling that you are led by the benevolent I AM, who makes your decisions feel inevitable and right. So, when you claim this throne in imagination, you do not beg for power; you awaken it as your natural state, and your actions begin to reflect the authority already established in your mind.

Practice This Now

Assume you already reign in your mind; repeat, 'I am the mercy that makes kingship possible; I reign now in place of the old self,' and feel that governing current as real, until it becomes your habitual awareness.
