Psalms 148:1-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 148 invites praise to the LORD from every realm: heavens, angels, sun, moon, stars, and waters above. It proclaims these forces were created by His command and established forever.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Psalms 148:1–6 be read as a map of your inner kingdom. The heavens, sun, moon, stars, and even the waters above are not distant phenomena but images of the states of consciousness you inhabit. When the psalm says praise is commanded and creation followed, it mirrors your own truth: the moment you acknowledge and praise the I AM, you command the inner order that gives rise to form. The angels and hosts are the habitual thoughts and elevated faculties that serve your determined intention; they are the natural correspondences in your mind to the divine decree that establishes all things forever. To worship truly is to align with that decree, to let your awareness declare, 'Let there be' in your present moment and witness creation respond. Your inner world is as orderly as the cosmos when you let your imagination act as the decree that sustains it. As you dwell in this inward praise, you release the belief that lack can persist and invite the law of fulfillment to work through you.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, repeat I AM, and declare your inner heavens in harmony with the decree. Visualize the skies and angelic thoughts praising your awareness, then feel the wish fulfilled as present reality.
