Singing Inner Mercy Always

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as the statement of my inner state. The mercies of the LORD are not a distant event but a quality I awaken within my awareness. When I declare I will sing of mercy forever, I am choosing a persistent mood of grace, an inner atmosphere in which every thought is seasoned with kindness. To know thy faithfulness to all generations is to trust that my present consciousness is the oracle through which time is witnessed. Generations are not distant people but moments of mind, each asking, 'Is this true for me now?' and the answer is yes, as I hold this truth in imagination and speak it into being. By speaking mercy and faithfulness with my mouth, I perform the act of inner alignment: I align my outer world with the constancy of God’s nature within. The practical effect is a quiet confidence that cannot be shaken by outward change, for the heart that holds mercy holds time itself.
