Temple Within: The Inner Dedication

Neville's Inner Vision

To read 2 Chronicles 2:4-5 through Neville's lens is to see a map of your inner architecture. The house you build to the name of the LORD your God is the edifice of your present awareness—your I AM. The sweet incense, continual shewbread, burnt offerings, sabbaths, new moons, and solemn feasts are inner movements you sustain; each ritual is a declaration that God resides as the governing reality of your life. The dedication of the temple is the decision that your attention will be set upon the divine image you carry, and the ordinance for ever is the consistency of that inner devotion. The line that the house is great, for great is our God above all gods, becomes the recognition that your sense of being is enlarged to the measure of the divine I AM you acknowledge. When you dwell in that image, you inhabit the reality your imagination has already created, and your outer world follows the inner architecture you have embraced.
