Psalms 89:5-8

Biblical Context

Heaven declares God's wonders and faithfulness; no power in heaven compares to the LORD. The assembly of the saints represents reverent awareness within.

Neville's Inner Vision

The heavens in this psalm are your own states of consciousness—your awareness when undistracted by fear. The wonders are inner miracles you imagine as if they already exist: health, abundance, harmony, and right relations. To ask 'who is a strong LORD like unto thee' is to acknowledge that the true might resides in your I AM, the steady frame of attention that never abandons you. The 'assembly of the saints' becomes the orderly union of your noblest states—faith, gratitude, reverence, trust—meeting in your inner temple. When you fear God, you do so not as a distant deity, but as the deep reverence of your own consciousness; you realize that you are fortified by the same faithfulness that surrounds Him. So the verse invites a practice: dwell in the awareness that God’s presence is around and within you, and let your will align with that steadfastness. In this alignment, you are not merely observing miracles; you are the living miracle by which miracles occur.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you are now in the heavenly assembly; silently say, I AM, and feel the surrounding faithfulness steadying your breath. Revise every doubt as you would revise a dream and let the felt sense of God be your reality.
