Read Psalms 40 in context

Scripture Focus

4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Psalms 40:4

Biblical Context

Blessed is the one who makes the LORD his trust and avoids pride and lies. Such trust becomes the inner posture that sustains reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the LORD is your I AM—the unwavering awareness by which you exist. To trust that Lord is to assume a state that cannot be shaken by appearance or opinion. The proud you despise are not others, but the restless images of ego and separation that whisper, 'you are less than' or 'you must strive.' The passage asks you to respect truth and to turn away from lies; when you refuse to honor those lies, you honor the one perfect state of consciousness that you are. As you dwell in the awareness of 'I AM' as your trust, you align your inner movements with that truth, and the outer scene begins to respond accordingly. The blessed man is simply the one who lives from the certainty that his trust is the governing principle of his life. Let impression and imagination cooperate: conceive the situation already healed; feel the security of unity; and notice that, as you hold this mood, conditions rearrange to mirror it.
