Inner Obedience, Rich Supply
Psalms 81:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 81 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm says that if God's people listened and walked in His ways, their enemies would be subdued and they would be fed with the finest provisions, honey from the rock.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this psalm, the speaker reveals a simple law: obedience is a state of consciousness. When I listen to the I AM within and align my thoughts with the divine order, enemies—symbolic fears, lack, and limitation—lose their grip and retreat. The words I should soon have subdued their enemies point to the immediacy of solution once the inner man hearkens. The haters of the LORD are not external foes but rebellious thoughts that resist the natural harmony of my being; their submission comes not by force but by the shift of awareness toward the truth that I and the Father are one. Then the provision flows: the finest of the wheat and honey from the rock become the texture of experience—abundant nourishment and sweetness that appear as I conceive in consciousness that I am already supplied. The clause their time should have endured for ever invites me to dwell in the eternal now of already possessed abundance, not a future hoped for event. The switch is mine: I am to hearken, to yield to the inner law, and the outer world will reflect the interior victory.
Practice This Now
Assume now that you have obeyed; feel the awareness: I am hearkening to the I AM within me, and in imagination taste the finest wheat and honey from the rock. Stay with that sense of abundance until it feels like your present reality.
