Behold the Inner Helper
Psalms 54:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 54 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm voices trust that God is helper and that the upright keep the soul. It also promises that injustice will be addressed in truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the verse, the speaker treats God as the intimate energy of consciousness that stands beside the thinker, ready to assist those who keep their soul aligned with integrity. The phrase 'the Lord is with them that uphold my soul' is not a call to external protection, but a recognition that the I AM makes itself known in the discipline of inner conviction. When you dwell in the truth of your true nature, the imagined onslaughts of separation dissolve; what you call enemies are but misperceptions of lack or fear, cut off by the unwavering light of right assumption. To Neville, this is the art: stand in the state of being that already enjoys aid, then let the outer world rearrange itself to reflect the inner alignment. The line 'Behold, God is mine helper' becomes a daily affirmation that your awareness is complete and sufficient; the promised reward for evil appears when you refuse to entertain it as real, choosing truth as your instrument.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM supports you now, feel it as a living certainty. Revise any sense of attack by dwelling in that truth until it becomes your feeling-it-real.
