Light for the Righteous Heart
Psalms 97:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 97 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage tells the righteous to hate evil, assures their preservation and deliverance, and invites rejoicing and gratitude in remembrance of holiness. It highlights inner joy and holiness as the ground of life.
Neville's Inner Vision
To you, the reader, this is not a history of outward battles but a revelation of inner conditions. Ye that love the LORD means you have awakened to the I AM within; to hate evil is to deny the pull of fear, lack, and separation from your true self. The line 'he preserveth the souls of his saints' is the inward protection that follows when you align your attention with the divine I AM; 'he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked' becomes freedom from the habit of negativity as you keep faith with truth. Light is sown for the righteous; feel the inner light take root in your heart, growing as you choose thoughts that reflect truth, order, and joy. Rejoice in the LORD, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness: remembrance is the practice of returning to the I AM, the stillness that keeps your heart upright. Your life then becomes the field where light is planted and a harvest of gladness matures to support you. You are the righteous by perception, rooted in one consciousness, not defined by outward circumstance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling 'I am preserved by the LORD within me' and 'light is sown in my heart.' Let joy rise as you align with holiness.
