Read Psalms 97 in context

Scripture Focus

1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
Psalms 97:1-2

Biblical Context

The psalm proclaims God's universal reign and invites all creation to rejoice. It also notes that the throne sits in radiant, hidden majesty, a home for righteousness and judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Psalm 97:1-2 invites you to see that the Lord reigneth is an assertion of your own I AM reign within. The earth rejoicing is the outward sign that your inner state harmonizes with the truth of divine sovereignty. Clouds and darkness around him symbolize the occluded thinking and turbulent feelings that seem to obscure the throne, yet they do not alter the fact that sovereignty sits in the heart of consciousness. Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne: when you dwell in the awareness that you are the witness and author of your experience, you judge thoughts and appearances from the light of this knowing, and you align actions with the order of being. The kingdom you seek is not a distant place but the very state you inhabit as awareness. As you accept that God reigns in you, the phenomena of life tighten into harmony—fear transfigured into confidence, lack into abundance, confusion into clarity. Your imagination becomes the throne room; your attention the altar; and all events rearrange to reflect the sovereign presence you choose to live as.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM reigning here,' then feel the state in your chest as quiet power; revise a current issue by imagining it already solved under this reign.
