Guarded by the Inner I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the psalm, the 'keeper' is not a distant God but the I AM—the conscious awareness that you truly are. To say your foot cannot be moved is to affirm that your present sense of self remains fixed in truth, regardless of appearances. 'He that keepeth thee' and 'shall not slumber' teach that your awareness does not fall asleep to its own power; it preserves your identity while the world seems to move. 'The LORD is thy keeper' and 'thy shade upon thy right hand' describe the protective atmosphere your inner state casts around action; right hand stands for deliberate, awake doing in alignment with truth. The sun by day and moon by night symbolize outer tests and cycles, which no longer threaten when you dwell in the I AM. Your revision is simple: assume that you are kept by the living I AM here and now, and feel that custody as your own presence. Reality flows from imagination when you refuse to yield to scarcity or fear.
