Inner Courage and God's Help

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the decree be strong and courageous becomes a self-fulfilling intention. The king of Assyria and the multitude are symbols of fear in your mind, pressing for a conclusion that you are powerless. Yet the verse insists there are more with you than with them—because the I AM, the LORD your God, sits at the center of awareness as an unseen army. The arm of flesh is the transient support of outward means; true strength flows from your inner recognition that God is present as your own being. When you rest in this truth, you shift from reacting to creating; your perceived battles dissolve into states of consciousness you can revise. Fear loosens its grip as faith takes its place, not as a wish, but as immediate realization. The people rested upon the words of Hezekiah; you rest upon the immutable fact that you are the living presence of God in action. Your world begins to answer from that presence, and courage becomes your natural tendency.
