Mercy-Rooted Inner Trust

Psalms 52:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
Psalms 52:7-8

Biblical Context

Psalm 52:7-8 contrasts the man who trusts in riches with the speaker who dwells in God’s mercy; true security is found in inner trust, not external wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

All it takes is a turn of attention. The man who made riches his strength unwittingly screens himself from the I AM within; he fashions security from coins and contracts, while the Psalmist declares a different power. You are not defined by the abundance of things but by your inner state. When you align with the I AM, you become like a green olive tree planted in the house of God, vibrant and enduring through every season. The olive tree does not chase after harvests; it relies on the mercy that nourishes roots, sap, and fruit. So, discern that your strength is not in fragility of wealth but in the eternal mercy that holds your consciousness. In this inner vision, wealth becomes a symbol—not a condition—but you, the aware self, dwell in safety, steadiness, and fruitfulness. The shift is practical: adopt the feeling that you are already rooted in divine mercy, and let that consciousness extend to every moment. What you trust in grows in you; the outer world rearranges to reflect your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and inwardly declare, 'I am the green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever,' then feel your roots drawing nourishment from the unseen source of life.
