Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse invites you to enter a state of consciousness where the LORD is the I AM within—the unshakable rock of awareness, the fortress of attention, and the deliverer moving through your life. The phrase 'God of my rock' signals that your essential nature is the rock itself, not an external power. When you choose to trust, you align with the inner power that serves you—the shield that wards off fear, the horn of salvation that cuts through danger with clarity, the high tower that overlooks your mental landscape, and the refuge that remains even amid life’s storms. Outer events become reflections of your inner posture: do you tremble before life or rest as the vigilant, abiding awareness? By inhabiting this inner trust, you stop resisting conditions and begin resting in the consciousness that saves you from mental violence and from threatened circumstance. The hinge is the I AM; your true identity is the perceiving life that endures and rescues you, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and declare the inner state, 'The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer,' until you feel the I AM encircling you like a protective tower, and trust that you are saved from violence by your own consciousness.
