Inner Trust, Shield of Light
Psalms 115:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 115 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm invites Israel, the house of Aaron, and all who fear the LORD to trust in the LORD, for He is their ever-present help and shield. Trust is the inner posture that shapes experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Trust is not a future act but a present assumption. When the text speaks to Israel, to the house of Aaron, to those who fear the LORD, it voices the one mood of consciousness that animates all experiences—that I AM awareness that stands as the 'LORD' within. This 'LORD' is not a distant deity but the active presence of your own awareness, the I AM that knows you as protected and supported. To trust is to align with that inner reality now, to feel the hands of help and the shield of protection close as the natural conditions of your life. The shield is not a defense against the world; it is the recognition that your state of consciousness cannot be harmed when you dwell in the truth of your unity with the I AM. As you persist in this alignment, events shift to reflect your inward conviction—guidance appears, Providence unfolds, and a future that once seemed uncertain becomes a confident march under a protective presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and assume the feeling that the I AM is your present help and shield. Stay with that inner conviction for a few breaths, letting the imagined shield magnify your sense of safety.
