Inner Shepherding of David
Psalms 78:70-72 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 78 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David is chosen from the sheepfold to feed Jacob and Israel, symbolizing an inner selection of your consciousness. The verse emphasizes feeding with integrity of heart and guiding with skilful hands.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider that the 'David' chosen by God is not a distant hero but a state of consciousness arising from your own I AM awareness. From the sheepfolds—the small, outward things of daily thought—this David is brought forth to feed Jacob, your living self, and Israel, your spiritual inheritance. The two are fed not by external power but by the integrity of heart: a steadfast alignment with truth that refuses to bend to fear, and by the skilfulness of hands—your disciplined use of imagination to shape perception and action. When you claim this David, you are not recalling a past event; you are awakening to a sovereign stance within: you feed your inner people with clarity, and you guide the outer with the precise, imaginative craft of consciousness. Let your assumption be this: I am the I AM here, I have chosen, I feed, I guide. As you dwell in that feeling, your life begins to move with the quiet certainty of a king whose authority is born of inner knowing rather than external circumstance. Imagination becomes the skilled hands that draw forth order from apparent chaos.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of David now—feed Jacob and Israel with the integrity of heart, guiding the day with skilful hands; feel it real until your next action confirms the inward shift.
