Nehemiah 9:4-6

Biblical Context

In Nehemiah 9:4-6, Levites call on God and bless His name, acknowledging He alone is LORD, the Creator of heaven, earth, and all that fills them; He preserves them and heaven’s hosts worship Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine this scene as a moment inside your own mind. The Levites cry aloud to the LORD their God, not as strangers outside you, but as the stirrings of your I AM waking to their rightful authority. When they say, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever, they invite you to rise into a higher state of consciousness and honor the one power that upholds heaven and earth in your life. Thou, even thou, art LORD alone reveals there is only one ruling presence within you, the self that creates and preserves every appearing world. All that you call heaven and the host of heaven are energies of your own awareness worshiping the one source. By blessing this inner Lord, you acknowledge that the created order—your thoughts, feelings, and circumstances—is sustained by that same I AM. The act of blessing is thus an inner alignment, a renaming of what you are, so that your life changes in frequency to match the truth of unity and order within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume the posture of blessing the Lord within, and imagine the I AM as the sole sovereign of your mind. Then revise any troubling scene by declaring, 'Thou alone art LORD,' and feel the sensation of preservation and order sustaining your life.
