Psalms 46:1-3

Biblical Context

Psalm 46:1-3 presents God as our immediate refuge and strength, encouraging trust in inner awareness rather than external safety, even as upheaval surrounds us.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard spirit, this psalm invites you to recognize that God—the I AM, your awareness—stands as a constant refuge and strength within you, not in some distant event. When the earth seems to be removed and mountains split, those are only appearances in the outer sense; the true movement is your inner conviction. Feel yourself already dwelling in that refuge, where trouble cannot invade your inner space. The 'very present help' is the sharp awareness that you are the observer, and thus you can revise the scene by assuming the state of safety and peace now. Let the roar of waters and tremors of mountains only signal the depth of your imagination, which you can quiet with the knowledge that you are one with the I AM. Trust grows as you dwell in this present awareness, releasing fear, embracing hope, and stepping into the peace that outshines circumstance.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, declare 'I am the refuge and strength, the very present help in trouble' and feel the truth sinking into your bones; in future trials, revise the scene by assuming you already inhabit this inner refuge.
