Psalms 150:2-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 150 invites praise for God's mighty acts and excellent greatness. It calls us to offer joyful worship with many instruments.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, these verses invite you to recognize that all praise is an act of consciousness, not a recital of external facts. The mighty acts and excellent greatness are inner states you choose to inhabit by imagination. When you imagine lifting your heart in homage, you align with the I AM and awaken the power that creates your life. The trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance and organs are symbols of the many tones your consciousness can assume; through them you calibrate your inner atmosphere, inviting harmony, order and victory into your world. Each instrument becomes a cue to dwell in gratitude, to refuse dwelling in limitation, and to claim that the presence of God is already yours. Praise is not a ritual you perform so God notices you; it is the act of noticing your own divine nature and assuming its reality. By a steady, grateful assumption, you revise your self-conception until your surroundings reflect a praise-filled consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already in God's presence, and imagine a trumpet sounding as your heart responds with gratitude. Feel the I AM awareness rising, and let that consciousness fill your surroundings.
