Rest Before Building
2 Chronicles 14:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The land had rest because the LORD gave it. Asa used that rest to build cities and prosper as a result of seeking the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the verse invites you to see rest as inner alignment with the I AM—the state of consciousness in which no resistance interrupts your purpose. When you and God are one in imagination, you realize that the land you inhabit—the field of your situation—rests, free from conflict, because you have surrendered to divine order. The safeguarding walls, towers, gates, and bars are symbols of disciplined choice and clear boundaries drawn by your inner vision. You do not force events; you invite them by dwelling in the assumption that rest already pervades your environment. So they built and prospered not by mere human effort, but by the conviction that rest is the natural condition of your life when you seek the Lord. The land being at rest is your own mind at ease, undisturbed by fear or doubt. This is the seedbed of strategic works: you act from rest, and your actions are guided, efficient, and flourishing.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner rest now: in solitude, feel the borderless calm that surrounds you. Then proceed with your plan as though you are building within the rest that already exists.
