Inner Waves of Psalm 88:7
Psalms 88:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 88 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm presents God's wrath pressing hard on the speaker, with waves of distress washing over him. It expresses suffering, exhaustion, and a cry for relief.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's understanding, the verse reveals a state of consciousness where the I AM appears overwhelmed by thought-waves. The 'wrath' is not a punishment out there, but the inner pressure of unmastered mental states—fear, grief, blame—clashing within the self. When we attend to these waves as outer events, we perpetuate them; when we reinterpret them as signals from our own consciousness, we become the observer who can revise. Selah, the pause, invites a turning point: in the stillness, the mind remembers that God, the I AM, is not an external judge but the awareness that can shift the scene by one assumption. The suffering can be seen as a tide that rises and falls, present to remind us of the power to re-create from within. By affirming, 'I AM consciousness is Peace,' we do not deny the waves but endow them with meaning that serves healing. The future hope arises as we realize the I AM remains unchanged beneath every surge.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume 'I AM' is the ruler of this scene; in the imagination, let the waves retreat and the sea within you settle. Then, revise the moment by affirming, 'God in me is calm and unshaken,' feeling that truth until it feels real.
