The Inner Shield of Gentleness

2 Samuel 22:36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 22 in context

Scripture Focus

36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
2 Samuel 22:36

Biblical Context

The verse proclaims God as protector and source of greatness, achieved through gentleness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true self is not seeking rescue from an external force; the shield of salvation is the unwavering awareness that you are already protected by the I AM. When you affirm salvation in the present moment, you quiet fear and allow your image to be fed by divine life. The word gentleness is not weakness but the power of a calm, assured direction—soft yet decisive—that aligns energy with Creative Light. As you dwell in gentleness, you release struggle and rise into a natural authority that comes from within. This gentleness makes you great by guiding your thoughts away from strife and into the steady, confident flow of your true identity. The verse invites you to revise any self-image as fragile or dependent; instead, declare, I am safeguarded by the I AM, and let your feelings match that truth. In alignment, experiences shift because your inner state becomes the salvation and greatness you seek, arising from trust, humility, and the gentle sovereignty of God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare I am saved by the I AM and feel a shield of light enclosing you. Then soften your stance in mind and repeat Thy gentleness maketh me great, allowing the feeling to rise as real.
