Where Is Your God? Inner Presence
Psalms 115:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 115 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 115:2 asks why the nations question God’s presence, implying that absence is a perception rather than reality. It invites the faithful to awaken to the truth that God is present and near within us.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, 'Wherefore should the heathen say' is not a question about geography but a confession of a mind that calls God distant. The 'heathen' are the habitual patterns of doubt that declare God elsewhere. The truth is the I AM—your awareness—stands present at every moment; wherever you turn your attention, there you meet God. When you identify with lack, you feed separation; when you align with the truth that God is within, you dissolve it. Your inner disposition becomes the temple, and external events move as refinements of consciousness. The Psalm invites you to revise the sense of distance by assuming the presence that never left. As you embody the feeling of God near, the outer world rearranges to reflect your inner wholeness. You are not waiting for God to arrive but choosing to recognize Him now in the I AM that you are.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is here; feel God’s nearness now. Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM here; my God is within me now.' Then rest in the feeling of seamless presence, letting any sense of absence dissolve.
