Scripture Focus

7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Psalms 28:7-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 28:7–9 presents God as my strength and shield; trusting Him brings help and joyful praise. It also speaks of God uplifting, feeding, and blessing His people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within these lines you are not looking to God outside your doorway; you are learning to awaken the I AM that already stands, the inner fortification of consciousness. The strength and shield are your mental faculties in alignment with awareness; when your heart trusts in this inner reality, you are helped by an unseen support that dissolves fear and births song. The 'anointed' is your own state of realizing—when you claim the royal posture of awareness, you become the one who is saved and protected by the power you acknowledge. The call to 'save thy people, and bless thine inheritance' becomes the instruction to sustain your inner tribe of thoughts and feelings with nourishment of faith, gratitude, and vision, and to lift them up forever by choosing again and again the reality you desire. We learn that deliverance is not an event but a shift of state: from worry to trust, from separation to communion with the I AM, and from lack to abundance through the imaginative act of revision.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit with eyes closed, assume the feeling of being supported by a shield that cannot fail; declare, 'The Lord is my strength and my shield,' and linger there until the feeling of protection and joy becomes your immediate sense.
