Joyful Service Within Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of your inner life. The LORD you serve is not a distant god but the I AM you are awake as. To serve with gladness is to keep your attention on a joyous, loving state, a readiness to honor life and truth. To come before the presence with singing is to enter into awareness with an inner song that dignifies every moment. This is not ceremonial motion but a shift in consciousness: when you feel grateful and alive, you align with the reality you desire. In this light, God is the very awareness that witnesses and sustains you, and your world rearranges to match the tone you inhabit. If you harbor fear or dullness, the sense of presence recedes; if you dwell in praise and delight, the inner room brightens and you experience the divine as your own horizon. Your ordinary acts become worship because you are already being fully present in the I AM.
