Inward Teaching From Youth
Psalms 71:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 71 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God has taught me from my youth, and I have continually declared His wondrous works up to the present. It points to an inner education that becomes outward testimony.
Neville's Inner Vision
I tell you that God is the I AM within you, the ever awake inner tutor who has never ceased teaching. When the psalmist says God taught me from youth, he names a state of consciousness formed long before outward memory. The phrase hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works shows the natural fruit of an inward schooling: the mind, once aligned with its divine pattern, cannot help but testify. Your youth is the earliest dawn of awareness; your present faith is the matured speech of that same inner disciple. To reinterpret this verse today is to revise your sense of self from one who is taught to one who teaches and proclaims. The wondrous works are not distant miracles but the steady expression of inner discipline: the consistent alignment with the I AM brings forth acts, inspirations, and visible results that astonish the senses. So assume you have been taught by the inner tutor from youth, and feel the certainty that you are still under instruction and still declaring wondrous works as proof of your inner schooling.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that the inner tutor has taught you from youth and that you still declare His wondrous works. Close your eyes, feel the I AM within, and mentally repeat I am being taught by God now; let that feeling of learnedness guide your next action today.
