Psalms 68:32-35

Biblical Context

The passage invites all kingdoms of the earth to praise God, declaring that true strength comes from the divine I AM within and is given to God's people.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this psalm is a map of the soul's states. The 'kingdoms of the earth' are the many aspects of your mind, restless or serene; the call to 'sing unto God' invites you to awaken to the one Presence within—the I AM, the God riding the heights of your inner heaven. When it says 'to him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens,' picture your awareness ascending beyond surface thought; the 'mighty voice' is the sovereign decree of your own I AM, declaring that you are the power shaping your world. 'Ascribe ye strength unto God' means acknowledge that the divine energy within you is the source of all action; 'his strength is in the clouds' speaks to power manifesting in subtle, unseen ways before it becomes visible. The 'God of Israel' is your higher self, blessing and empowering you here and now. Embrace this truth and you realize you are power wearing the garment of consciousness; your life reorganizes to reflect that conviction.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM riding the heights of your mind. Hear the mighty inner voice and revise any sense of lack as strength now flowing to you.
