Above All Gods, Inner Worship
Psalms 96:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 96 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 96:4-5 declares that the Lord is great and worthy of praise, feared above all other gods. It also states that the gods of the nations are idols, while the Lord made the heavens.
Neville's Inner Vision
To this verse, the outer world is a mirror of your inner state. Idols are not distant statues; they are the frozen beliefs you have taken as real about lack, danger, and limitation. The nations' gods symbolize every shifting appeal to fear, control, or possession. Yet the Lord, the true Creator, is the I AM you awaken to as the one whose awareness births all form. When you accept that the heavens were made by the Lord, you acknowledge that your own awareness—your I AM—is the cause and stage upon which every scene appears. To fear a god outside yourself is to forget your own sovereign vision; to remember that the I AM is the source of all order is to let imagination reign. The Lord's greatness is not a distant attribute to chase; it is the present, living principle by which you imagine and you see. Trust in that inner sovereignty, and your world will mirror the truth that no idol can withstand the light of aware consciousness.
Practice This Now
Assume the Lord as your I AM here and now, feeling the awareness that creates the heavens. Revise any sense of fear by watching it dissolve as you rest in that truth and imagine creation flowing from your inward light.
