Boast in the LORD Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your soul’s boast is not vanity but a shift of consciousness. When you affirm 'My soul shall boast in the LORD,' you do not flatter a distant deity; you align with the I AM that you are aware of. The LORD is the awareness itself, the steady witness behind every sensation and sensation-provoking thought. Humility is not weakness; it is the open channel through which truth speaks. Hearers are simply those who listen from that state, and their gladness is the natural resonance of a mind that has ceased seeking proof outside. As you dwell in this posture, inner movements rearrange: gratitude, trust, and joy rise as the felt sense of reality—praise without performance. The verse implies that when you declare God as your source, you become the one who inspires a quiet, contagious gladness in others who come near your atmosphere. So practice the inner utterance and feel it as true now: the self that boasted becomes the self that sees, and all who hear within respond with joy.
