Inner Triumph Of Psalm 20

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, trouble is not an outside event but a movement of mind inviting you to attend to the I AM within. When the psalm speaks of hearing in the day of trouble, it is describing your awareness that is receptive to itself, the observer who never sleeps. The sanctuary and Zion are not places but states of consciousness—centered, quiet, and strong from which actions spring. Remembering offerings and accepting burnt sacrifice becomes a discipline of acknowledging past choices and offering them to your higher self, letting your desires align with divine purpose. Grant thee according to thine own heart becomes the notice that your imagination has the right to consent to its own fulfilled counsel. To rejoice in salvation and to set up banners is the decision to declare, in your present mood, the victory that consciousness already bears. Some trust in chariots and horses; we recall the name of the LORD our God, i.e. our inner power. The adversaries fall when you remember you are not separate from God; you rise, because the I AM heals, protects, and delivers through the activity of awareness alone.
