4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

Psalms 114:4-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 114:4-6 presents the natural world as witnesses to God's presence, with mountains leaping and seas retreating; the verses express an outer reflection of an inner order when the divine I AM governs awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

The psalm is not about weather but about the inner structure of consciousness responding to the awareness that I AM governs all. The mountains that skip symbolize fixed habits and beliefs in the mind that can rearrange themselves when aligned with the I AM. The sea that fled and the Jordan turning back signify fear and doubt yielding to the certainty of divine presence within. By adopting the I AM as your constant vantage point, you witness the inner field reorganize itself—habits become supple, tensions release, and a sense of ordered reality emerges. The outer world’s movements mirror the reorganized inner landscape. The psalm thus teaches that true worship is an inward recognition of God as your awareness, not a distant rite. When you inhabit this state, you observe creation obeying the inner decree of your revised, held belief in divine law and presence offered by the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and anchor in the I AM. Assume the inner landscapes move at the command of your awareness and feel it real by breathing into the space where fear once stood.
