Gaze of the Upright: Psalm 11:7

Neville's Inner Vision

View Psalm 11:7 as a description of your inner state. The Lord who loves righteousness is the I AM within you, the living affirmation that you align with truth. When you choose an inner standard of integrity, you are not separated from divinity; you are becoming the upright, and the divine gaze—God’s countenance—turns toward that state. The verse speaks of a present, not future, reality: your consciousness lives in the same truth God loves. To feel this, you must imagine the I AM looking on you with favor as you hold steady the line of righteousness in thought, word, and deed. Your sense of self shifts from fear or guilt to the certainty that you are seen, approved, and protected by the enduring presence within you. As you persist in this alignment, the outer world begins to reflect that inner verdict: you walk in the light you have assumed. The key is to dwell in the assumption that you are upright in truth, and God’s gaze becomes your own inner assurance.
