Saints and The Inner God
Psalms 16:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 16:3-4 says God delights in the saints who dwell on earth, while those who chase after other gods multiply their sorrows. It rejects idol worship and calls you to a loyal, holy alignment with the divine.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this psalm, the 'saints' are states of consciousness that dwell in you; the 'earth' is your present life where you live out your awareness. God, the I AM, takes delight in the clear alignment of your inner being with its highest truth. When you hasten after another god—attachment, fear, or lack—you invite increased sorrow because you live by illusion rather than by truth. The 'drink offerings of blood' are symbolic of rituals done to satisfy fear rather than to awaken, and 'taking up their names into my lips' warns you not to utter the old, limiting names you have given to lack and separation. The call is not a condemnation of externals but an invitation to convert your worship into faithful allegiance to your one true God within—your consciousness itself. When you awaken to the saints within, you realize you are not seeking gods outside but recognizing the one I AM that animates every experience. The moment you feel the I AM as your reality, you restore covenant loyalty and watch life reflect your inner, holy alignment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume you are the saint in the earth—delighted by the I AM. For the next few minutes, revise any belief in idols by silently affirming, 'I am one with the I AM; no other god governs my life,' and feel that truth concretely now.
