Neville Goddard on Psalms 139:7-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 139 in context

Scripture Focus

7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

Psalms 139:7-12

Biblical Context

God’s presence fills every place; there is nowhere you can go outside His spirit, whether in heaven or in darkness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? This is not about geography but the state of your consciousness. God is the I AM within you, and wherever you raise your awareness there you meet Him. Heaven and hell are internal weather, not distant realms; the hand that leads and the right hand that uphold you are the I AM in you moving and sustaining your life. If you imagine darkness will conceal you, you misread the truth: the night shines as day within the same consciousness, for the I AM perceives all as one. The invitation is to live from the awareness that you are always in the presence of the divine, guiding you through every circumstance. Practice by assuming the I AM’s constant presence, revising any scene with the conviction that you are already where you wish to be, and feeling the divine direction as your natural state. This is the inner kingdom being revealed, not a geographic journey.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is always present. In a moment of quiet, revise a situation by declaring, 'I am now held and led by the I AM,' and feel the steady guidance as real.
