Psalms 95:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 95 in context

Biblical Context
Psalm 95:9-10 recalls how the previous generation tempted God after witnessing His deeds, and God grieved over their wayward hearts. It invites personal examination of inner patterns and a turn toward obedience by aligning with His ways.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your being, the so-called fathers are those old states of consciousness that tempted the I AM with doubt and measured reality by outer signs. To ‘prove me’ or ‘tempt me’ is your mind testing the validity of God’s presence in you, seeking assurance through circumstances rather than through inner knowing. The forty years of grief represent the habit of a mind clinging to fear and stories of limitation, a longstanding pattern that declares, in effect, that it does not know the ways of God within. But the ways of God are simply the ongoing alignment of your awareness with your I AM. When you revise, you shift from mourning the old pattern to acknowledging the works of God as manifestations of your inner state. The moment you accept that you are the I AM, the works you see are not external proofs but expressions of your own consciousness. You learn His ways by choosing faith over fear and by embracing obedience as a present, creative act.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already living in the inner land where the I AM governs all. When doubt arises, revise the thought: I know His ways now; I am obedient to the inner voice. Feel that truth as real for 5 minutes, letting the sense of fulfillment replace the old grievance.
