Inner Refuge of Deliverance
Psalms 32:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 32 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist declares God is a safe hiding place who preserves from trouble and surrounds one with songs of deliverance. Selah invites a pause to feel this inner safety.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your mind, God is not a distant fortress but the very space in which awareness resides. Psalm 32:7 speaks of a hiding place that is you—the I AM that witnesses every thought. If you acknowledge that you are sheltered by the presence that presides as the witness of all life, you stop seeking for security outside and begin the act of feeling safe now. The 'preserve me from trouble' is not a future rescue but a present feeling of sanctuary: in the calm center of your being, disturbance cannot take root, for you circumscribe yourself with the assurance of deliverance. The line about deliverance songs is the imagination turning fear into praise—the inner music that accompanies the realization that you are guarded by the I AM. Selah invites a pause, a breathing into this truth until it becomes living memory. The verse thus is a practical instruction: assume the state of protection, and let your inner atmosphere ring with gratitude and victory.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, rest in the chest as the seat of I AM, and repeat: 'I am hidden in God; I am preserved from trouble; I am surrounded by deliverance.' Feel it real, linger in the truth, and let the inner scene replace anxiety with peace.
