Psalms 148:13-14

Biblical Context

The psalm calls all creation to praise the LORD’s name, proclaiming His excellency and heavenly glory; He elevates His people, the faithful, who draw near to Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: This verse invites you to treat the Name of the LORD as the living I AM within you. When you align with that Name, you realize that true glory and elevation belong to your inner state, not to external events. The line about glory being above earth and heaven signals the expansive power of your consciousness when it rests in the I AM. The 'horn of his people' represents the strengthened life of your inner community—the saints of your imagination—your steadfast qualities of faith, courage, and praise that rise when you dwell in this higher state. You are 'a people near unto him' when you accept the intimate proximity of God within you. To practice: praise is a habit of being, not a performance; assume the state of being one with the Name, and feel the exaltation as your natural condition, then let that victor state be your baseline, witnessing events rearrange to that harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently declare, I AM; feel the Name within exalted as your own presence. Sense the horn of your inner saints rising in praise, and rest in the proximity to God for several minutes, letting that state color your day.
