Holding Up by the I Am
Psalms 71:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 71 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist declares that God has held him up from birth, and his life is a continual praise to God. His sense of protection and presence expresses the inner reality of divine care.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the I AM's vantage, the words 'held up from the womb' reveal a psychological truth: you have always been supported by the very consciousness you now name as God. The line about being taken out of one's mother's bowels is a metaphor for the birth of awareness: you awaken into the awareness that you are maintained by the one life you are. When you claim that the I AM 'took you out,' you acknowledge the inner mechanism by which every scene is formed and sustained. Your praise, then, is not a ritual gesture but an ongoing alignment with that inner presence. Providence is not distant; it is the steady movement of your attention, the felt sense of grace carrying you from birth to now. If fear or confusion arises, revise it by returning to the conviction that the mind which has guarded you from the womb onward is the I AM you call God. In that alignment, you dwell in the certainty that you are always supported and never separate from the Source.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and claim, 'I am held up by the I AM,' allowing this assurance to lift you now. Let that felt sense color your every moment today.
