Psalms 113:2-3

Biblical Context

Psalm 113:2-3 proclaims that the LORD's name should be praised forever, from sunrise to sunset, signifying the constant presence of God in every moment. It invites an inner, eternal recognition of the divine now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the Name of the LORD is not a distant title, but the I AM you awaken to in every breath. When you bless the Name within, you acknowledge the sovereign I—your own consciousness—claiming no other ruler than this inner King. The rising sun and the going down of the same are but the outer clock; the true time is the unbroken awareness that exists from moment to moment. To praise the LORD’s name is to align your entire atmosphere with the fact of God's presence, to feel yourself as the authority by which reality is formed. As you dwell in this state, you will notice fear and lack recede, replaced by a quiet kingship that governs your thoughts, reactions, and circumstances. The verse invites you to inhabit the perpetual act of praise, not as ritual, but as the living stance of awareness that creates your world.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm 'I am the LORD's name,' and feel the inner king rise in you. Hold the felt sense of awareness for a minute, then carry that mood into the next task.
