Arising Into Inner Rest
Psalms 132:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 132 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls the inner Lord to arise into rest together with the ark of strength—the inner presence and power sustaining life.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the quiet of your mind, the Lord is not a distant ruler but the I AM within you, waking to rest. 'Arise into thy rest' invites you to assume you inhabit a settled state of consciousness, where the ark of thy strength—the sustaining power of God—dwells as your present reality. Your outer world is a reflection of the inner mind; when you hold yourself as the I AM, you invest your imagination with power, and reality follows your conscious state. The ark signifies your inner temple of being, a fortified awareness that supports every reaction, every choice. As you rise into that rest, you release struggle and align with infinite possibility. This is not effort to obtain God, but honoring the truth that God is already within your I AM and that rest is the natural condition of that state. Begin from where you already stand: you are the imagineer of your life, and rest is your native rhythm.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm, 'I AM the I AM, resting in the ark of strength within me,' then feel the calm radiate through your body and life.
