Inner Shelter and Inheritance
Psalms 61:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 61 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm voices a vow to dwell with God forever and to trust under the covert of divine wings. It promises a heritage to those who fear God's name.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the psalm, the speaker chooses to abide in the divine shelter and place his trust under the covert of the wings, knowing God has heard the vows and granted the heritage of the fearful. In Neville's sense, this is not external refuge but the shift of consciousness where you dwell in the I AM, the ever-present awareness. The tabernacle is your interior state of quiet, unwavering attention; the wings are the protective feelings that arise when you align with your desired end. When you imagine from the end, you become the one who already inherits the heritage of those who fear the name, because inheritance follows faith expressed as fidelity to the I AM. The moment you realize you are hearing your vow as fulfilled, outer circumstances rearrange to reflect that inner conviction. The 'Selah' invites stillness where the mind rests in gratitude, affirming you live within the consciousness of protection and abundance rather than seeking it as a distant event.
Practice This Now
Act: Close your eyes and assume you are dwelling in the tabernacle of the I AM right now. Feel the covert wings around you and repeat, 'I am protected; I have inherited the heritage of those who fear Thy name,' as if it already is true.
