Provisioned Mercy Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, see that Abigail’s gifts are not merely external; they are an image of the abundance the I AM already holds. David’s anger is the mind’s fear when it believes in lack, and Abigail’s basket becomes the symbolic act of a mind made whole. By laying before him bread, wine, and provisions, she performs a deliberate revision in the imagination, declaring that mercy is the true outcome of this scene and that punishment is not the law of consciousness. The words, Go on before me; behold, I come after you, teach the order of perception: act from the conclusion of peace and let the circumstances follow the inner commitment. Your awareness can imitate this now: in your imagination, supply mercy to the one you fear; let abundance fill the space that once held danger. When you hold the image of mercy as already true, the outer drama reorders itself to reflect that inner state. The hill and covert become symbols of consciousness where events bend toward Shalom.
