Inner Deliverance Psalm 124
Psalms 124:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 124 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse recalls that without the Lord on our side, enemies and floods would swallow us; with the Lord present, we are kept safe from overwhelming threats.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the Lord on our side as the I AM presence within you—the steady awareness that does not flee before noise. The psalm speaks to your current state: when you forget this inner ally, opposing images arise as if they were opponents, floods and wrath that would overwhelm the soul. Yet the 'waters' are not external forces but the restless thoughts and fears your attention feeds. When you remember that the I AM is on your side, you are not spared hardship so much as you are steadied by a knowing which cannot be drowned. Your consciousness becomes the ark, a safe harbor that does not deny the flood but remains unaffected by it, watching it pass. To interpret these lines practically, assume the truth of your inner ally now: close your eyes, repeat, 'The I AM on my side is my shield,' and feel that truth settling into your bones. Observe how the imagined threat softens as you rest in that awareness; the shore appears as you continue to dwell there.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'The I AM on my side is my shield,' and feel that truth settling into your bones. Let the imagined threat soften as you dwell in that awareness and walk through the waters safe on the inner shore.
