Extol the Inner King
Psalms 145:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 145 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 145:1-2 speaks of a steadfast resolve to extol God as king, and to bless and praise His name forever and ever, daily.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the psalmist declares the state of consciousness that you must enter. Extolling God is not drama; it is the assertion that awareness is king, and blessing is the natural activity of a mind that knows itself as I AM. To say 'for ever and ever' is to acknowledge the timeless, unchanging presence of God within—the I AM that never ends. When you choose to bless God's name daily, you are choosing to keep your attention on the divine within, and that choice rewrites your inner weather. The 'king' within is not external pomp but the reigning idea that you are the ruler of your inner kingdom, and your daily praise is the practice that confirms that you live in alignment with the truth you proclaim. Eschew doubt; dwell in the feeling of universality and gratitude; as you bless, you become more aware of the power of consciousness to shape experience. The verse invites you to assume the feeling of kingship and to act from it until your world reflects that royal, blessed state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the throne of your inner king; declare, 'I extol thee, my inner God, and I bless thy name forever.' Breathe and feel the presence of God within expanding, shaping your next moment.
