Covenant Kindness Within
2 Samuel 10:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David proclaims kindness to Hanun, Nahash's son, just as Nahash showed kindness to him. He sends his servants to comfort him in Ammon, entering the land of the Ammonites with mercy.
Neville's Inner Vision
David's act is not a political gesture but a matter of consciousness. 'I will shew kindness' becomes a law of the I AM in you: you choose the memory of grace over grievance, and let it govern your response. When he says 'as his father shewed kindness unto me,' he aligns the present awareness with a remembered good, thereby awakening a habit of mercy as a standing state. The servants entering the land of Ammon symbolize your inner faculties—imagination, sympathy, and action—going into the world of appearances to release peace from within. The outward event (the comfort sent) follows the inward alignment: covenant loyalty is a posture of being, not a reaction to others. Practice this now: cultivate the memory of grace, decide to respond from that memory, and imagine your inner messengers delivering comfort to the 'other' states in your day. The result is grace in action, and a life that testifies to the inner covenant you live by.
Practice This Now
Assume I am the I AM, the source of kindness; feel it in the chest and send your inner servants (imagination and compassionate intention) to comfort the 'other' states you meet today.
