Psalms 124:1-2

Biblical Context

Psalm 124:1-2 recalls that the LORD was on our side, delivering us from adversaries. Its message is that safety comes from an inner alignment with the divine presence, not from outward circumstance.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this psalm in Neville’s key, imagine the LORD on our side as the I AM within. Your true defense is a steady, awake consciousness that cannot be moved by external threats. When fear or opposition rises, remember these are only scenes in your mind’s theater. The invitation is to revise the story: affirm that the I AM is always with you and dwell in the certainty of its protection. Don’t beg for rescue from without; awaken to the truth that you and the Source of life are one. By assuming this condition—‘The I AM on my side is here now’—you shift the inner weather, and the outward wind must align with your inner harmony. Providence then becomes not a distant event but a lived, intimate fact of awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and silently declare: 'The I AM on my side is with me now.' Hold the feeling of safety until it becomes your baseline state.
