Neville Goddard on Psalms 41:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 41 in context

Scripture Focus

3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Psalms 41:3

Biblical Context

The Lord strengthens him on the bed of languishing, turning illness into a space where inner strength can be felt; the circumstance is shaped by consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a reminder that the Lord you know is not away in heaven but the I AM within you. The 'bed of languishing' is a state of mind, a resting place where you have conceded to limitation. Yet the line says the LORD will strengthen him there, and the room will become a workshop where you revise the very sensation of sickness by a simple act of imagination. When you, the aware self, assume the feeling of health, you are not begging God for a cure but inviting your inner I AM to affirm vitality. The sickness is not a fact about you but a belief you have entertained; by placing your attention on the I AM and feeling health as real, you turn the bed itself into a bed of wholeness. God then 'makes all his bed' in the sickness—the whole scene is rearranged by the consciousness that loves, sustains, and guides you. Sit in quiet, reframe your sense of condition, and dwell in the feeling that your inner Lord is actively restoring you now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Practice: close your eyes, rest on the imagined bed, and declare, 'I am strengthened by the I AM.' Feel vitality flowing through every cell and let that sensation settle into your bones until it feels true.
