Inside The Courts Of God

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the inner life nods to a single, abiding residence: the courts of God, the field where consciousness rests in I AM. The psalmist does not seek fame or riches; he seeks the steady tempo of awareness, the presence that quiets fear and tempers desire. To say a day in the courts is worth more than a thousand days elsewhere is to declare that the quality of your inner state matters more than outer accumulation. The 'house of my God' becomes your own mind, the place where imagination collapses distance and makes reality itself come forward. To be a door-keeper is not servile; it is an honored posture of vigilance—holding light, listening for the whisper of truth, and refusing to entertain thoughts that would multiply 'tents of wickedness.' When you inhabit this state, you are not merely imagining; you are announcing to the I AM that you have chosen presence over projection, holiness over compromise, and a life aligned with divine order. Your day becomes a temple tour in which attention itself is worship.
