Psalms 111:3-6

Biblical Context

God's works are honorable and enduring. He is gracious and compassionate, mindful of His covenant with those who fear Him, providing sustenance and revealing power to secure an inheritance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's approach, the words become a map of your states of consciousness. His work being honorable and glorious translates to the fact that your inner acts—your thoughts, feelings, and choices—can be deliberately arranged to reflect divine order. Righteousness enduring forever is not out there in time; it is the constant alignment of your awareness with the I AM, which never ends. The wonderful works remembered by the Lord are the memories you seed in consciousness by attention; to remember them is to keep the heartbeat of grace present. When you fear Him, you are fed by the covenant—the sense that this relationship with your true self is fixed and reliable. He has shown the power of His works so that you may receive the heritage of the heathen: your inner power is not for others but for you to realize your rightful inheritance here and now, in your experience. The Psalm invites you to live as one who knows that the outer world is a reflection and tool of your inner state, and that the covenant is your present, not a distant promise.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In quiet, assume the state I AM here now, and feel the Lord's gracious compassion circulating through you. Hold the feeling long enough that your outer world begins to reflect as if the covenant is already fulfilled.
