Open Lips, Open Praise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 51:15 invites not merely a physical opening of the mouth, but the turning of your entire consciousness toward the I AM that animates all speech. When you hear 'open thou my lips,' you are called to align the inner state with praise, so that your words arise from an already-present reality of God within you. The I AM is not far away; it is the very awareness that speaks through you. To open your lips is to let your imaginative life breathe forth praise, free from fear, lack, or mere habit. If you assume the feeling of being held by the divine presence, your mouth becomes a conduit for gratitude and truth. In practice, see yourself praising right now, feel the inner gratitude, and know that the words you utter are the visible expression of an inner awakening. This inward turn is the true worship Psalm 51:15 speaks of—a turning toward God that manifests as open lips and open praise.
