Read Psalms 139 in context

Scripture Focus

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Psalms 139:17-18

Biblical Context

The psalm affirms that God’s thoughts toward you are precious and innumerable, and that upon waking you remain held in God’s presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the quiet listener, Psalm 139:17-18 speaks not of abstract theology, but of your inner life. God's thoughts about you are precious, and the sum of them is vast—more numerous than the sand—yet they are not outside you but flowing through your consciousness. In Neville's language, God is the I AM you are, and these thoughts are living states of awareness that continually inform the world you experience. When you awaken, you do not step away from God; you awaken into the presence that already thinks you into being. Your life is the outward ripple of an inward stream of divine intention. The invitation is to dwell in that stream, to revise any sense of separation by feeling surrounded, favored, and guided by those thoughts. If you persist in imagining yourself apart from Providence, you will experience lack; if you revise to feel cherished by the limitless activity of God’s thoughts, your choices align with inner truth and your days unfold in harmony under the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state: I AM thinking me into being, and His thoughts about me are precious and innumerable. Sit with that presence and feel the I AM guiding your next move.
