Inner Shelter and Strong Tower
Psalms 61:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 61 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that God has been a shelter and a fortress against enemies, providing protection. It invites realizing this protection as an inner state of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
See this verse as a photograph of your inner life: God as shelter, the strong tower in whom you stand safe. When the mind feels harried, realize the I AM as the dwelling place that cannot be breached by fear. The enemy you fear is but a misperception, an echo in consciousness; the fortress stands because awareness cannot be divided from safety. In this light, the shelter is not a place you go to but the state you assume. Your true self, the I AM, is the steadfast wall and watchman, forever guarding you with care. The psalm does not bargain with external conditions; it invites you to inhabit the inner reality where protection is already given by presence. As you dwell there, providence becomes palpable, guidance arrives as inner quiet, and rescue flows through your awareness. Practice recognizing this integrity now: repeat, feel, and rest in the truth that you are sheltered by God within you, and let the imagined fortress dissolve fear into peace.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: I AM is my shelter; I am protected by God within. Feel this fortress settle into your chest as real, steady protection.
