Inner Light of Psalm 4:6

Neville's Inner Vision

Voices whisper, 'Who will show us any good?' but this is not a query about others; it is a signal of the mind's state. The Psalm invites you to turn from the looking outward to the looking inward, where the I AM—your true awareness—radiates the light of countenance. The 'light' is not a thing to acquire; it is the bright consciousness that you are beloved, already touched by God’s favor. When you feel lack or question, imagine the light lifting, as if the face of God shines upon you and all your experiences are illuminated by that benevolent gaze. In Neville's terms, you revise by assuming the feeling of being seen, blessed, and carried by the divine. The present moment becomes a doorway through which good arises, not as a distant grant but as your immediate awareness. So the Psalm becomes a practice: dwell in the awareness of the all-seeing I AM, and let every interpretation of lack yield to the brightness of God's countenance within you.
