Joyful Noise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 1–2 speaks not to a distant temple but to your inner world. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands, becomes your recognition that every portion of your consciousness is awake to I AM. The 'lands' are your faculties—memory, imagination, emotion, will—invited to dance in harmony. To serve the LORD with gladness is to place your inner attention in a state of gratitude, allowing your sense of self to perform the act of service as if God were already home within you. Coming before His presence with singing is the discipline of meeting your own awareness with a congruent song of worthiness—feeling as if you stand in the light of your own I AM, not pleading for it but acknowledging its constant availability. The Psalm is an instruction in inner worship: cultivate an attitude that makes inner light audible, and outward acts of life follow as natural expressions of your awakened state.
