Elemental Praise Within
Psalms 148:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 148 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
All creation—the earth, the depths, and the elements—praises the LORD, showing that order and the spoken word govern what appears. The verse invites us to see nature’s response as a mirror of consciousness aligned with God’s word.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker, Psalms 148:7-8 is not about distant weather but about you, the one who awakens within. The earth, dragons, and deeps symbolize your body and the unconscious depths; fire, hail, snow, vapors are your thoughts, passions, memories; the stormy wind is the breath of your will, moving to fulfill the inner decree you accept as true. When you affirm I am—the awareness that stands as LORD—and assume these forces are praising your word, you enact creation. The inner command precedes outer evidence; the visible world is the dream obeying your inner word. So revise by feeling the reality that all elements respond to you, your Word, your state of consciousness. Imagination creates; to feel it real is to let the inner decree stand as a fact in your chest. Permit yourself to witness the apparent storm of life aligning with your assumed Word.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine the earth, fire, wind, and waters responding to your inner decree; feel them praising your word as if it were already true. Repeat this for 1–3 minutes until the sensation of reality remains.
