Inner Shepherd's Provision
Psalms 23:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm presents God as a guiding shepherd who provides, restores, and protects. It invites trust in the divine presence through every experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the LORD being my shepherd is not a remote deity but the I AM state within you guiding every feeling and choice. To say I shall not want is to assume the condition of sufficiency as your present reality, not a future hope. He maketh me lie down in green pastures and leadeth me beside still waters is the description of a settled mind, where rest and clarity descend because imagination is administered by awareness. The restoration of the soul is the renewal of your sense of self; as you align memory and longing with your divine nature, you are refreshed. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake translates to living from the Law of Life—conscious alignment with your true identity so that your outward acts bear witness to the inner state. Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me means fear is dissolved by the conscious presence of God within. In this light, every circumstance becomes the verifying sign that you are governed by the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM' shepherding your life; imagine lying in green pastures and beside still waters, feeling ample supply and protection. Then revise any sense of lack by repeating 'I AM' until the feeling is real.
