Neville Goddard on Psalms 94:8-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 94 in context

Scripture Focus

8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Psalms 94:8-15

Biblical Context

Psalm 94:8-15 invites readers to see that inner thoughts are seen by God, that chastening and teaching come from the Law, and that rest awaits the upright when judgment returns to righteousness. It affirms God's faithful presence with His people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse invites you to see that you are not a mere body reacting to events, but a state of consciousness. The God who planted the ear and formed the eye is the I AM within your awareness; thoughts you entertain are not facts but vibrations of a state. When you feel chastened or corrected by your inner Law, you are invited to revise your belief, not to punish yourself, but to align with the authentic order of life. The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity; therefore observe them without judgment and shift the pattern by an act of imagination. Blessing comes when you submit to correction and learn from the Law; rest from days of adversity arises as your mind rests in the truth that you are governed by a divine principle. Judgment returns to righteousness as the upright in heart align with inner discernment, and the Lord will not cast off his people nor forsake his inheritance. You are not abandoned; you are being reoriented toward the inner fulfillment that already resides in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of quiet, assume you are the one whom the Lord chastens and teaches out of thy law. Feel the rest that follows as if it is already yours, and revise the anxious thought into I am guided and at rest in divine order.
