Inner Stillness of Psalm 46

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the works of the LORD becomes behold the works of the I AM within you, the divine activity that animates every sensation of life. What desolations he hath made in the earth becomes what inner desolations dissolve as you acknowledge the self-existent life. He maketh wars to cease becomes the cessation of inner conflict when you align with the truth of your consciousness; you refuse to project polarities and instead rest in the unity of awareness. Be still, and know that I am God becomes the stillness of attention and the felt reality that I AM is the governing principle of all you experience. The LORD of hosts is with us becomes the recognition that the divine presence accompanies you as your own I AM presence; the God of Jacob is our refuge becomes the sense of safety found by identifying with your true self rather than with transient conditions. Thus the kingdom is not sought in external events but cultivated within as trust, protection, and the glory of God in you. Practice creates the shift; attention becomes worship; you exhale doubt and inhale the certainty of being.
