Inner Waiting and the Word
Psalms 130:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 130 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm speaks of waiting on the Lord with hopeful trust and aligning the soul to His word. It declares a longing that surpasses even those who watch for the morning.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the Lord is not a distant person but the I AM, the steady awareness within you. Waiting, in Neville's sense, is not passive passivity but the state you assume until it feels real. The word you hope in is the living truth you already know in consciousness, not a future event. When the verse says my soul doth wait, more than they that watch for the morning, imagine that your mind has become the watchman, the offered dawn that never slips away. The morning is the awakening of awareness, the moment when you remember that you are the creator of your experience. To wait for the Lord is to dwell in the unchanging I AM and to refuse to entertain lack or fear. Your watching is a revision of your present sense of lack into the assurance that the end is already accomplished in your inner state. By repeating the inner truth, In Him I live, move, and have my being, you align your imagination with the promised reality and feel it as already done.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and dwell in the I AM. See yourself already in possession of the promised dawn, and silently declare, I wait in the word and feel it real.
