Read Psalms 84 in context

Scripture Focus

9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalms 84:9-12

Biblical Context

Psalm 84:9–12 presents God as shield and sun, celebrating dwelling in His presence over worldly life, and promising grace to those who walk uprightly; trust in Him is blessed.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, the shield and the sun are not distant facts but the awakenings of your own consciousness. Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed: behold invites you to awaken to the I AM within, your higher self crowned by awareness. The courts are the inner chambers of perception; a day there is worth more than a thousand lived outwardly. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness: stand at the threshold with reverent expectancy, choosing proximity to Presence over mere external comfort. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly: your awareness is the sun that disperses shadows and the shield that guards your unfoldment when you align with truth. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee: trust is simply the decision to dwell in the I AM and permit its provision to unfold.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the role of the anointed one within the inner courts; feel the sun of awareness warming your face and declare, 'I am shielded by the I AM.' Then revise your day by affirming, 'Only in this sanctuary of awareness will I spend my time; trust here and watch blessings flow.'
