Inner Song Leader

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the text speaks not of a man merely with a talent, but of a consciousness that is already the author of its own skill. Chenaniah, the chief of the Levites for song, is noted as skilful, and therefore he instructs about the song. In Neville's sense, this is the I AM made tangible through an inner realism: when a state of mastery is believed and felt, it begins to express itself as ability, leadership, and guidance in worship. The presence of God is the inner awareness that you are what you imagine yourself to be. The outer act of teaching the song is just the movement of that inner conviction into form. To walk this way is to acknowledge that the role you occupy is the effect of the inner state you accept. The verse invites you to align your inner feeling with outer vocation, so your work and worship become one seamless expression of the Self. Practice imagining yourself as skilful in your chosen field, and let the "instruction about the song" flow from your own inner assurance.
