Nearness of God, Gratitude

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this psalm does not invite you to seek God afar, but to awaken to the I AM within as ever-present. When the verse says 'thy name is near,' it is naming the eternal fact that your own awareness is inseparable from God. The 'wondrous works' are the movements of consciousness that prove that proximity: intuitions, inspirations, the feeling of assurance, all arising from that intimate presence. Your gratitude is not bribery to an exterior deity; it is the vibrational conditioning of your mind to recognize oneness. As you align with the sense of the I AM being close, your world rearranges to reflect that state. Practice, then, becomes a gentle revision: declare, 'God is near; I am His name in this moment.' Feel the closeness until it saturates your senses, and allow images of wholeness to appear. The outer events will follow the inner conviction because you have asserted reality from the inside out, and God’s works are simply the testimony of your own awakened consciousness.
