Obadiah’s Quiet Faithfulness

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner man, Obadiah is the conscious state that fears the LORD and will not bend to Jezebel’s demand. The hundred prophets are faculties in potential—kept alive by two halves of the self, one in the cave and one in the open space—nourished by the bread and water of disciplined thought and daily action. The outer danger dissolves as you refuse to surrender the truth you guard; you feed it by imagination turned to deed. The Lord here is not a person but the I AM that stands within, nourishing and protecting your inner army; you are the governor of your house, choosing mercy over fear, faith over doubt. In you, like Obadiah, the inner mercy keeps truth intact under suppression, and faith becomes act. The inner scene is real because consciousness is real, and your acts of mercy render the possible actual.
