Inner Remembrance and Confidence
Psalms 56:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 56 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist records that God keeps track of his wanderings and tears, and that crying to God will cause his enemies to retreat because God is for him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the verse as a page from your own inner diary. God is not a distant judge but the I AM who remembers you in the breath you call 'me.' When the psalmist says, 'Thou tellest my wanderings,' he is naming the inner movements of consciousness that appear as outward events; the bottle for tears is the keeping of feeling—an inner reservoir where no sorrow goes unfinished. The 'book' is the record your mind keeps of your state, the revealed script of your life. To live by faith is to revise that script with one simple assumption: I am held by God, for God is for me. When you cry, you do not signal weakness; you stand in the presence of your own I AM and declare, 'I am seen, I am cherished, I am empowered to turn.' The enemies turning back is not a demand on circumstance but a natural response when your inner state aligns with divine remembrance. Your confidence comes not from proving externals but from acknowledging that your journey, your tears, and your petitions are already known within the divine record.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM that tells your wanderings and holds your tears. Feel the truth: God is for me; bottle my tears in the divine book and let the sense of foes retreat as I continue to dwell in this remembrance.
