Scripture Focus

1The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Psalms 21:1-7

Biblical Context

The king rejoices in God's strength and salvation, receiving the heart's desires and a crown of blessing. He is blessed with life, glory, and an unmovable trust rooted in the Most High.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner kingdom of your being, the king stands for your true I AM—awareness that remains sovereign over every fluctuating image. Strength and salvation are not external favors but states of consciousness you enter by assuming their reality. When you imagine God as the I AM within, the heart’s desires are already granted and the lips’ requests become fixed in the inner witness. The crown of pure gold is your sacred self-conception: a pristine sense of worth conferred by mercy and truth, not by fortune. The gift of life beyond time belongs to the eternal present you inhabit when you refuse to separate yourself from the divine presence. Your glory, honor, and majesty arise from the perception that you are the beloved in whom God takes delight. Dwelling in this interior mercy makes you “most blessed,” and your countenance shines with the Lord’s light. Trust in the Most High renders you immovable, for you rest in the I AM that never fails.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and suppose, 'I am the king in the kingdom of God within me.' Feel the crown, vitality, and joy as present now; declare, 'I have already received my heart's desire,' and let that truth settle as your reality, so you are not moved by outside appearances.
