Inner Will and Law Within

Psalms 40:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 40 in context

Scripture Focus

8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
Psalms 40:8

Biblical Context

The verse expresses joy in aligning with God's will, with His law written in the heart. True worship and obedience arise from this inner conviction rather than external ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 40:8 presents an inward reality, not a distant duty. When you accept that the will of God is a living law written on your heart, you stop chasing outward rules and begin to feel the inner principle as present now. The delight spoken of is the feeling of reality: you are already doing what the I AM would do, because the I AM is your awareness. Your heart becomes the sanctuary where the law resides, and obedience grows as a steady conviction, not a werewolf of obligation. In Neville’s terms, the verse invites you to identify with the inner governor—the law that governs thought, desire, and action. By assuming you already live in harmony with this divine pattern, you revise your self-concept and awaken trust—the faith that moves mountains of circumstance. Practice this: imagine the inner law as a living presence and feel its authority within you, and you will see the outer world align to your new state of being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you already delight in doing God’s will; feel the inner law as a living presence within your heart. Revise your self-concept until it resonates with that reality and let it be felt as real.
