Rock Within: Waiting in Faith
Psalms 62:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 62 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm urges the soul to wait on God, trusting that one’s expectation comes from Him, and to see God as rock, salvation, and fortress that keeps the believer unmoved.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader, the Psalmist speaks not to a distant deity but to a state of consciousness. Waiting on God is the deliberate turning of attention from lack to the I AM that sustains all; in that recognition, your expectation arises from the same source that is God. God is named as rock and salvation—the unshakable center within, the defence that prevents being moved by fear or circumstance. When you imagine yourself as already defended by this rock, you align your inner atmosphere with certainty rather than effort. Outer events rearrange themselves to the cadence of your inner conviction, not through striving but through the conviction that you are held by an eternal presence. The practice is a shift of allegiance from the appearances to the inner fact that you are joyfully and steadfastly cared for by the I AM. The world, seen through this lens, becomes a series of expressions of a mind that trusts, endures, and remains grounded in faith.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and say, 'My soul waits upon the I AM; my expectation is from God,' until that statement sits as fact. Then dwell in the felt sense of the rock supporting you, and carry that security into the next moment.
