Inner Fame of the Worker Within

Psalms 74:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 74 in context

Scripture Focus

5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
Psalms 74:5

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a man becoming famous as he lifts axes on thick trees; outward fame is presented as a reflection of an inner action and disposition.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's register, the famous man is a state of consciousness, not a person among trees. The axes and thick trees symbolize the thoughts, decisions, and obstacles your mind uses to assert itself. When you embrace the I AM behind your vocation, fame appears as an outward expression of an inner certainty. The line does not endorse violence; it reveals how identity manifests as action. To master work and stewardship, align with the inner ruler—the awareness that you are the creative source. Pride and self-exaltation can masquerade as success; the remedy is to see yourself as an instrument through which a larger order operates, serving rather than merely displaying power. By imagining yourself already within the desired outcome, you grant your work the reality of being. The trees yield through the quiet, confident assumption that your perception creates your world. Do the inner work, and outward marks of achievement will follow with dignity and care for creation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: I AM the source of my work. Then imagine lifting the inner axe and calmly cutting through the thick trees of limitation, feeling the result as already present.
