Inner Kindness Awakening

2 Samuel 9:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

2And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
2 Samuel 9:2-4

Biblical Context

David seeks to show kindness to Saul’s house. Ziba reveals Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth, crippled, is living in Lo-debar.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, David stands as the I AM, the sovereign awareness that can extend kindness without motive. When the question arises, 'Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him?' the inner self is invited to practice mercy over memory. Ziba’s report mirrors an old script—the inner Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son, crippled and dwelling in Lo-debar, a desert of mind where nourishment seems scarce. Yet the king’s gaze remains fixed on possibility, not lack. The kindness of God is not withheld from the able alone; it awakens the latent lineage within you—the talents, desires, and aspirations you deemed crippled by fear, failure, or circumstance. As you call forth this forgotten heir from Lo-debar, you reverse the tale: grace restores, identity expands, and covenant loyalty in consciousness is renewed. You align with the I AM’s benevolent intention, and the entire inner kingdom moves toward wholeness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the posture of David within your mind. Say to the inner Mephibosheth that grace is your natural state and feel that once-lamed parts of you rise and move, nourished by the kindness you now extend.
