Inner Trust Over Men: Psalms 118:8-9
Psalms 118:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 118 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These verses declare that trusting the LORD is wiser than trusting any person or ruler. The message invites turning from human opinion to the steadiness of the inner God within.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard vantage, this psalm whispers a call to the inner sovereignty of the I AM. The verse does not condemn human trust, but places the living awareness at the helm; trust in the LORD becomes trust in your own discernment, a yielding of the outward opinion to the unwavering light of consciousness. When you dwell in the I AM, you are not dependent on the crowd, for every person and circumstance are but images arising within your consciousness. The 'man' and the 'princes' are figures in your dream of life, moves of belief that you may revise or overrule by a simple assumption: that the inner divine direction is already present and guiding you, right now. Your future, your providence, your hope are not projected from without but imagined into being through the steady posture of faith in awareness. Thus, trust is not passive compliance but an act of forming reality with your inner decree. If you repeat, feel, and dwell in that awareness, the outer world aligns with this inner trust.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume that the I AM within you is the sole governor of your life; for five minutes, answer every question from that inner state, and feel it real by mentally declaring, 'I trust the LORD within me and all guidance flows through this consciousness.'
