Covered In The Day Of Battle
Psalms 140:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 140 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God is the strength of salvation. He covers the speaker's head in the day of battle.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, this verse is not about external armor, but about the inner state that makes all battles winnable. The Lord, the I AM, is the consciousness that stands as the source of power and protection within you. When you affirm that God is the strength of your salvation, you are acknowledging that the 'battle' you fear is first an inner conflict of thought—attack, defense, doubt, and resolve. The head in Scripture is the seat of belief; to cover your head is to enclose your thoughts with certainty that you are already saved by the I AM. In practice, the world's tumult becomes the weather of your dream, and you, not the circumstance, are the one who provides the shield by your awareness. As you dwell in that awareness, the external situation rearranges to fit the inner posture. Your job, health, or safety becomes a fulfillment of your inner conviction, not the cause of it. So, stand in the sensory state of protection, and let the imagination do the work: you are guarded by divine strength here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and, as a deliberate choice, declare 'I am the I AM; I am shielded by divine strength.' Then feel a warm, radiant helmet of light enveloping your head, carrying that awareness into this moment.
