Inner Covenant Of Compassion
Psalms 78:36-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 78 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm contrasts outward flattery and inner unfaithfulness with God's compassionate forgiveness. It also reminds us that human life is brief, while divine mercy endures in conscience.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the figures here are inner states of consciousness. The flattering tongue and the wayward heart symbolize beliefs that pretend fidelity while remaining loose in covenant with the I AM. Yet the divine, which Neville would name the I AM within, is full of compassion and forgives; he does not destroy, he turns away anger—because he remembers they are but flesh, wind that passes. In your day-to-day, this is not a history lesson but a map of your inner climate. Do not fight appearances; instead, revise them by sinking into the felt sense of your abiding covenant with God—the I AM that never leaves you. Assume the feeling of being entirely forgiven, of being in right relation with the Source of compassion, regardless of outward flurries. When you notice thoughts of fault or anger arising, treat them as weather in the outer window and return to the inner weather of steadfast love. The more you dwell in that awareness, the more your inner state aligns with the evidence of mercy, gradually shaping your outer life to reflect the truth of your immortal covenant.
Practice This Now
Close the eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling: 'I AM within me, forgiven and kept by the covenant.' Revise a recent error or fear by replacing it with this inner stance, and feel it real.
