I Am Within: Psalm 113

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5–6 presents the God of the psalms as the I AM who dwells above all, and as the one who lowers Himself to regard heaven and earth. In Neville fashion, the high God is not distant but the very consciousness you ARE. The inner meaning is that awareness can stand in a state of exalted perception, while remaining tenderly attentive to every detail of your world. When you claim the lordship of your own mind, you see that height and presence are not external but the frame of your own awareness. To dwell on high is to hold a vantage point from which nothing is outside your notice, and humility is simply the willingness to behold with love rather than defensiveness. The verse invites you to harmonize power with tenderness, sovereignty with service, so that your life becomes a sanctuary where heaven and earth meet. Practice the assumed state of the I AM looking with calm eyes on all that is. As you persist, you will find your outer life aligning with the inner vision you have already embraced.
