Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, this verse is not about geography but about the state of your being. The 'king of Moab' stands for a benevolent power in your inner realm—the I AM in full sovereign awareness—who brings your household of fears, hopes, and plans before himself. The hold is the stillness, the quiet chamber where outward trouble is temporarily set aside. Providence is not an external event but your ability to be carried by a higher self that guides you through exile from old identities back toward wholeness. The dwelling with this inner king echoes your instinct to protect what matters by turning inward, inviting grace and direction from above. Exile becomes a season of return: the body may move through outer circumstances, yet you remain held in consciousness. When you acknowledge this inner refuge, events align under the impulse of imagination, and your return to steadiness and purpose is seeded by the shelter you chose in awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the king of Moab stepping into your inner sanctuary, offering shelter to your family and you. Feel the declaration, 'I am held by the I AM,' and persist in that feeling until it becomes your reality.
