2 Chronicles 2:12-14

Biblical Context

Huram blesses the LORD God of Israel for endowing David with a wise son to build a house for the LORD and his kingdom, and for sending a skilled craftsman to assist with many arts and engravings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, the outer plan—the temple and royal house—speaks to the inner order your consciousness can assume. Huram's blessing is a testimony to the I AM, the God of Israel, as the source of all wisdom: He has endowed you with prudence and understanding so you might build a temple not made with hands, but within. The 'wise son' denotes a state of awareness that accepts responsibility and clarity, while the 'cunning man'—skilled in gold, silver, brass, stone, and more—stands for the inner craftsman who can shape every aspect of life through imagination, discernment, and purposeful action. The diverse arts and engravings show that all faculties you possess—attention, memory, perception, and craft—can be mobilized to serve the inner design. Providence provides both the knowing and the tools; your task is to align with that reality and let the inner workshop operate. When you identify as the master builder—endowed with understanding—the temple within becomes the living kingdom you experience in daily life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner workshop; envision yourself as the cunning craftsman endued with understanding, shaping your life from within. Feel the temple within already built, and let its order radiate through your days.
