Mercy Rules Time Within
Psalms 136:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 136 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain sense: The sun rules by day and the moon and stars rule by night, and both depend on God's mercy that endures forever. This rhythm shows time ordered by divine compassion within your awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's lens, the sun is the day-state of consciousness—the I AM awake, warm, and decisive. The moon and stars are the night-state—the inner quiet, reflective faculties that sift images and guide with gentle illumination. The mercy that endures forever is not distant mercy but the constant truth of your awareness, the I AM that never ceases to be. When you affirm this, time itself becomes a function of your inner condition: the day reveals the outward order of belief rightly aligned with truth; the night reveals the inward order that makes the next moment possible. Creation and adjustment flow from inside out: you revise by noticing the inner posture that produces outer circumstance, and you imagine the world as governed by the I AM’s mercy. True worship, then, is present-tense recognition—knowing you are always the ruler of your internal time by the I AM's compassionate governance and providence guiding you toward your highest purpose.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and revise your sense of time: silently affirm, 'I AM governs my day and night by mercy.' See the sun rising in your chest and the moon and stars within, and feel that mercy endures forever guiding every moment.
