Psalms 4:3-4

Biblical Context

Verse 3 states that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself and will hear when called; verse 4 invites awe, sinless living, inner communication on one's bed, and stillness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Psalm, the LORD is not distant but the I AM within. To know He has set apart the godly for Himself is to acknowledge that the state of godliness is a defined, settled condition of consciousness you cultivate. When you call, you are not petitioning a distant being; you are calling upon the awareness that you already are. The promise 'the LORD will hear' becomes the instantaneous response of your own silent conviction. The command to 'stand in awe, and sin not' asks you to adopt reverent ownership of your thoughts, to let no condemnation or fear distort your inner life. The invitation to 'commune with your own heart upon your bed' is a practical moment of revision—review your self-conception in stillness and align it with the reality you affirm. 'Be still' is the discipline of quiet awareness that seals the truth; Selah is the breath between declarations, a pause where your certainty settles into your body. You are not asking for permission; you are recognizing and dwelling in the already-ordained godliness of your being.

Practice This Now

Lie down, close your eyes, and declare inwardly: 'I am the godly one set apart; I am heard.' Let the feeling of being answered fill you until doubt dissolves.
