Pastures of Quiet Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner scripture the entrance of Gedor is the doorway of my own mind, the east side of the valley is a fresh field within where my thoughts may graze. The flock of my desires moves toward nourishment, and the land that opens before me is fat, good, wide, quiet, and peaceable. This is not a future event but the recognition that the conditions I seek already dwell in the I AM of my being. Ham of old represents the old memory of limitation, the habit of stress, the sense that abundance is elsewhere. Yet the text says those old dwellers once inhabited this ground, implying the possibility of reoccupation by a new ruler, the I AM here and now. When I acknowledge that God is my I AM and that imagination creates reality, I find the pasture I imagine becoming my present condition. The quiet and spacious land is the mind at rest, where provision flows and unity among my faculties is realized. The outer world then reflects this inner peace, showing wealth, health, and harmony as the natural state of being.
