Psalms 85:2-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 85:2-4 speaks of God's forgiveness and the covering of sin. It also pictures wrath removed and a turning toward salvation.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader you are not appealing to a distant deity but waking to the I AM within you. Sin is a mistaken state of consciousness you once occupied; forgiveness is the relocation of awareness, the moment you realize you are already spotless in God. When the psalm says thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin, it is the inner assurance that you are no longer living from guilt but from the reality that your being is beloved. Selah invites a pause to let this truth sink in. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath means the inner resistance to life dissolves as you align with the God of your salvation. The call Turn us, O God of our salvation is your invitation to shift your center of gravity—from fear and self judgement to faith in the I AM. As you dwell in that state, anger and bitterness cease and you stand free in grace. The practice is simple: assume you are forgiven; feel it real; permit the turn to take place in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume you are forgiven and that your past is effaced; feel it real as you breathe. Then picture the I AM turning toward you and you turning toward the I AM, and let peace flood your inner scene.
