Lips of Light, Paths Resisted
Psalms 17:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
By the spoken word of God, the speaker is kept away from the paths of the destroyer. It points to discipline guided by divine word.
Neville's Inner Vision
Listen: the 'word of thy lips' is not grammar; it is the living I AM voice you accept as true. The psalmist says he keeps from the destroyer by this word, meaning his inner decree becomes shield and compass. In Neville’s language, your outer works are the reflex of your inner state. When you acknowledge that God’s word resides in you as the governing reality, you stop wandering the roads of danger. The moment you assume, I am guided by the Word within me, you revise any fear as childish, and you feel the reality of safety. Your imagination is the pen; your inward speech—God speaking through you—draws lines of destiny away from destruction. Do not chase evidence in the world; shift the state, and the world yields. The path becomes clear because you refuse to consent to fear; you consent to the Word that keeps you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the inner Word speaks through you; revise fear by affirming, I am kept on the right path by the Word within me, and feel that certainty as your choices align.
