Inner Pathways of Integrity

Psalms 17:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 17 in context

Scripture Focus

3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
Psalms 17:3-5

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of an inner testing of the heart and a commitment to walk in paths of integrity under divine guidance. It also asserts that aligning speech and actions with the inner divine word keeps one clear of destructive paths and stumbling.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the night is not a threat but a faithful examination of your state of consciousness. God does not search for sins from without; He probes the heart and revises your inner posture until nothing contradicts the truth you desire. 'Thou hast proved mine heart' becomes the awareness that your I AM has already audited every motive, and your visions in the night are simply the subconscious presenting what you have allowed as real. 'The word of thy lips' is the inner decree by which you govern your world; by living in harmony with that decree, you are kept from the paths of the destroyer. 'Hold up my goings in thy paths' is the call to maintain your daily motions in the divine order you imagine as true. When you persist in this alignment, your steps slip not, and integrity proves itself as guidance, not punishment. This is wisdom and discernment born of inner consent.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am kept by the word of the lips of God within me.' Then feel the truth as present and let your daily speech align with that inner decree.
