Scripture Focus

9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Psalms 34:8-9

Biblical Context

It invites tasting and seeing God's goodness through trust. It promises that those who fear the Lord lack nothing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, 'the LORD' in this psalm is not a distant deity but the living I AM consciousness you turn to in every moment. To taste and see that the Lord is good is to perform a radical interior experiment: assume that goodness is already present, and that trust is the immediate sensation of being held by your own awareness. When you dwell in trust, fear dissolves because fear is the belief that your needs are unmet by a world apart from you; trust is the recognition that your inner state is the law of your experience. The saints are states of consciousness you honor and align with; by reverence you prepare the soil for abundance, and the verse promises there is no want to those who fear Him—i.e., those who live in alignment with their divine nature. In practice, the outer world will reflect the inner revision, showing you support, guidance, and provision as you persist in the inner certainty. Taste and trust become your daily bread.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes, assume you are already in the state of abundance; revise fear into trust by affirming I AM within me is my supply and feel it as real.
