Exalted God Within, Traps Reclaimed

Neville's Inner Vision

Every line of this psalm is a statement of consciousness. The exaltation of God above the heavens is the declaration that your inner state, the I AM, reigns unchallenged in the very center of your being. The 'they' who lay nets and dig pits are not distant enemies; they are the restless thoughts and fears that insinuate themselves as reality. When you identify with the sense 'my steps are trapped,' you are mistaking a mental image for fact. But the speaker bows the soul not to despair, but to the truth that God’s glory is greater than any circumstance. As you claim that the I AM is exalted above the earth in you, the imagined traps must recoil; the net constrains the dreamer only to reveal that you can walk elsewhere. In this inner drama, those who meant to entrap you fall into their own pit because their power resides only in your belief in limitation. The key is to affirm the unseen ruler within—the I AM—so that outer events reflect the certainty that God’s exaltation is your daily experience, here and now.
