Inner Psalm: Seek God Within

Psalms 53:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 53 in context

Scripture Focus

2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
Psalms 53:2-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 53:2-4 states that God looks to see who understands and seeks Him; yet humanity turns away, none do good, and those who act against God have not called upon Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner reading, the 'God' who looks down is the I AM within you, the awareness that weighs your states. When the chapter says God looked to see if there were any that understood and sought God, it reveals your own life as the moment of choice: you understand to the degree you turn toward awareness, and you seek God as the living presence within. The line that 'every one of them is gone back' and 'there is none that doeth good' is not a verdict on others but a description of the times when your mind has turned outward, thinking you are separate from the one life that moves you. The 'workers of iniquity' who 'eat up my people' symbolize thoughts that devour your vitality by convincing you of lack, fear, or unworthiness; they have not called upon God because you forgot to call upon the I AM in you. The remedy is an inward act: claim God now, call within, and treat your consciousness as the dwelling place of wisdom. When you assume you are seen and understood by the I AM, you become the very embodiment of God-seeking and good works arise as natural expressions.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; breathe and affirm 'I AM' as your true awareness. Revise by feeling that you are now calling upon God within, and observe good thoughts naturally arising.
