Scripture Focus

8The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

16Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the gracious Lord of Psalm 145 is not elsewhere, but the I AM that you are in this very moment. The verse speaks of a God who is slow to anger, full of mercy, and whose kingdom endures; so too does your awareness, when you dwell in that state, persevere through every circumstance. In this inner vision, all your creatures—the thoughts, desires, and even the fears—are held by a gentle, just hand open to you. When you call upon this Lord in truth, you find Him near, uplifting the fallen, feeding the hungry, and satisfying every living desire as you hold the image of your own I AM. The kingdom you seek is not out there but within your own life-conscience, an everlasting dominion that you renew each moment by supporting thoughts, by fierce honesty, and by gentle patience. By choosing to dwell in the present awareness of this mercy, you awaken to act from it, in every relationship and decision, until your entire world reflects His glorious majesty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the state 'I am the gracious Lord, full of mercy, and the everlasting kingdom within.' Feel this as your living reality, and picture your needs being met by the open hand of your inner God.
