3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Psalms 85:1-3

Biblical Context

God has shown favor to the land, restoring Jacob’s captivity; He forgives iniquity and turns away wrath. In plain terms, it speaks of forgiveness, release, and renewed harmony.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Psalms speak of an inner restoration. The land has become favorable when you rest in the awareness that you are supported by the I AM, not by shifting appearances. The captivity of Jacob is your old belief in separation, the sense that you are bound by past mistakes. Forgiveness is felt as release—when you stop replaying guilt and claim your present value. The covering of sin is the perception that nothing you did or failed to do changes your essential worth. The removal of wrath is the quieting of inner storms; anger and fear withdraw when the I AM stands as the governing sense. As you assume the feeling that forgiveness is already real, and act as if your world reflects that inner peace, you revise the past by living from the end: you are healed, your surroundings align, and the land returns to harmony. In that moment, the inner kingdom shines, and you perceive abundance where there was captivity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: spend five minutes tonight imagining you stepping from captivity into freedom; repeat, I am forgiven; I am the I AM, and feel that relief as if it is already real.
