Inner Gratitude Psalm 118:1

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 118:1 speaks to a proclamation that emerges from the very center of your being. The LORD, in Neville's reading, is the I AM—your ongoing awareness. When you declare 'O give thanks,' you are not petitioning as a supplicant but asserting the reality of your good. The goodness of the Lord is your inner condition, not a distant event; His mercy endures for ever as the unceasing pattern of life within you. Every thought, feeling, and circumstance is an outward sign of that mercy moving through you. If you’re tempted to doubt, revise: I am always cared for by the I AM; gratitude is my natural state. This is true worship: when your attention rests in gratitude, you align with the current of grace that never leaves. The practice is simple: assume the feeling of gratitude now, even before circumstances confirm it; allow yourself to dwell in the sense of being loved, provided-for, and held by the I AM. In such a state, your inner world becomes the Psalm itself—thanksgiving becomes your permanent weather.
