Inner Covenant of Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, see in these lines the law of your inner life. 'My servants' are the faculties you possess—imagination, faith, will—moving under your I AM. The Lebanon of the text stands for the high mountains of your vision; the sea is the stream of feeling by which your images pass into form; the floats are the flexible means by which supply travels to the appointed place of your experience. When you declare, 'I will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household,' you affirm that your inner state has already produced the nourishment you seek: sustenance for your inner house and outer life. Hiram's cedar and fir are the ideas and opportunities your imagination provides when your consciousness remains steadfast in order and expectancy. Solomon's response—wheat and oil—represents the tangible results of that inner arrangement: sustenance, blessing, and fuel for growth. The 'year by year' cadence invites you to a steady practice of this assumption. Thus the outer world is but the echo of your inner covenant; by maintaining this inner structure, the kingdom of God reveals itself as current reality.
