Read Psalms 135 in context

Scripture Focus

7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

Psalms 135:7-9

Biblical Context

God controls the natural world—causing vapors to rise, lightning for rain, and wind from his treasuries—and, in history, sent tokens and wonders to Egypt against Pharaoh and his servants.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 135:7–9 speaks not of distant skies but of the inner weather your own consciousness conjures. The vapors that ascend from the ends of the earth, the lightnings born for rain, the winds drawn from the treasuries are movements within your mind: thoughts rising, insights flashing, and energies drawn from the storehouses of belief and feeling. Egypt and its firstborn symbolize the old, bondage-bound patterns you have long accepted as real—the habitual identities of self you have allowed to govern you. Pharaoh and his servants are the stubborn streams of thought that resist a new state. Yet the tokens and wonders spoken of are signs that your inner state is changing, that your consciousness has become the fountain of your experiences. The Divine acts as you—the I AM—choosing thoughts that birth new conditions. When you acknowledge yourself as the causal power, outer events will reflect the inner command you have quietly uttered within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, feel the inner weather rising—vapor, lightning, and wind—as movements of your own mind. Then declare, I AM the Lord of this inner weather, and revise a limiting belief until you feel it real.
