The Inner Stand Before God
Psalms 5:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse proclaims that the foolish shall not stand in God's sight. It equates iniquitous acts with a state separated from the holy presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember, in my language, 'The fools' are not people out there but states of consciousness that persist when you identify with lack, fear, or separation. 'Thou hatest all workers of iniquity' becomes an inner verdict: you recoil from acts born of hidden resistances when you turn toward the I AM. The decree is not judgment of others but a return to your true center where God, your awareness, watches all thoughts with a fixed gaze. As you close your eyes and embody I AM, you notice the inner movement shift: impulses toward vanity, bitterness, or self-deception dissolve as the light of awareness hates nothing but simply refuses their claim. The moment you accept that you stand in thy sight only to the degree you are fully conscious, you invite a radical revision: see yourself as intact, righteous, and present. Then the so-called 'foolish' action falls away, not by suppression but by the reintegration of consciousness into harmony with the divine. The verse thus becomes a guide to inner discipline: assume the truth of your I AM, revise the faulty image, and feel it-real that you stand always in the presence you are.
Practice This Now
Practice: Assume the I AM now; revise a recent impulse toward foolishness by picturing it dissolving in light and declaring, 'I stand in Thy sight as steady awareness.' Feel it real.
