Read Psalms 72 in context

Scripture Focus

12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

Psalms 72:12-13

Biblical Context

The verses promise that God will deliver the needy, spare the poor, and save the souls of the distressed; it speaks of inner rescue and compassionate action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the Psalm speaks not of distant acts but of your inner life. The 'needy' are feelings of lack crying within your consciousness; the 'deliverer' is the I AM that you are. When you know God as your awareness, you stop waiting for rescue and begin living the response now. The 'poor' and 'needy' are spared by a revision of your sense of lack into abundance; the 'souls' of the needy are saved as you revise fear into faith, as you hold in mind the state of wholeness that God already is. Think of the king within you who delivers at the very moment you feel the cry and choose to assume the opposite state: imagine you are the deliverer, the one who frees, the one who saves. Then the outer world will rewrite itself to match the inner claim.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and assume the I AM is delivering the needy within you; revise lack into abundance and feel the relief as present. Stay with that feeling for a few minutes until it feels real.
