Psalms 89:8

Biblical Context

The psalm proclaims that no god compares to the Lord who is strong and faithful; his strength and fidelity surround the believer.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the Psalmist proclaims a lord whose strength and fidelity stand unmatched. In Neville's language, this is not a distant battle of nations but the assertion of your own I AM wearing the banner of strength. The strong LORD is the steadfast power of your consciousness when you choose to identify with it. The phrase about hosts becomes your many conditions and circumstances, all orbiting the same center: the unassailable fidelity of your inner state. When you recognize that God is present as the I AM and not outside you, the outward world rearranges to reflect that one nature. The verse invites you to trust the inner law of faithfulness: as you dwell in that certainty, your Kingly authority in life expresses and no outside power can surpass the constancy of your inner life.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume the felt sense that you are the strong LORD of hosts within. Visualize a circle of golden light surrounding you and feel the unwavering faithfulness of your inner life protecting and directing you.
