Biblical Context

Psalm 141:8-10 speaks of keeping the gaze on God, trusting Him to sustain the soul, avoiding traps, and escaping the nets laid by the wicked.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your psalm is not a map of lands but a map of consciousness. 'Mine eyes are unto Thee' is the disciplined gaze of awareness fixed on the I AM—the God within, not distant but immanent. In such a state, trust is not credence in a future act, but the decision to dwell in That Presence here and now. When you plead, 'leave not my soul destitute,' you are rewriting deprivation into sufficiency, turning lack into the felt reality of inner provision. The snares and gins are the traps of fear and habit—inner judgments that pretend to trap you in a run of old stories. The 'wicked' falling into their nets is not revenge but the natural implosion of faulty thinking when you refuse the agitation and stay in still, aware being. You escape not by fighting outward forces, but by sustaining the inner posture of I AM. The verse invites a reorientation: you are kept by the I AM, and Providence unfolds as your present experience when you live from that awareness.
