Inner Justice and Self-Protection
Psalms 37:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The wicked draw swords and bend bows to harm the poor and upright. Their sword enters their own heart and their weapons break.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the wicked plots as outerized images of your own fearful thoughts. The 'poor and needy' and the 'upright' are not others out there; they are the states of consciousness you harbor in fear or faith. When you awaken to I AM, these outward devices—swords and bows—lose their grip because you no longer identify with the fear that birthed them. The law of imagination operates: what you consent to in inner feeling becomes your outer scene. If you dwell in attack, you invite division; if you rest in the unity of I AM, you dissolve conflict. The verse teaches that the doer of harm harms only themselves, for the weapons turn back, breaking the schemes by which they live. Your awareness sees through conflict; you revise the scene by claiming justice, safety, and upright living as your natural state. In that recognition, the external world reflects your inner harmony and the day of deliverance arrives as a clear, luminous fact.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of I AM as your real reality, and revise the scene—harm dissolves and upright life is realized.
