Psalms 22:3-5

Biblical Context

God is holy and dwells where praise rises; those who trusted and cried out were delivered and remained unconfounded.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalms 22:3–5, in Neville's key, shows that holiness is not a place you visit but the inner atmosphere you enter. The 'I AM'—your true awareness—inhabits the praises you sustain in consciousness. The word 'fathers' refers to the beliefs and memories you have trusted; when you reaffirm their trust within, you invite their deliverance into your present sense. Their cries are your inner petitions; to cry unto Truth is to align with the power that frees you from confusion. Deliverance is not an external rescue but the realization that your trust has remained intact, here and now. When you stand in the stillness that you are holy, you displace fear and confusion with certainty, because you have chosen to inhabit the holy presence. Praise becomes the current that carries you, and the mind that trusts becomes the hands through which grace flows. You are not awaiting deliverance; you are assuming your divine birthright as the I AM.

Practice This Now
