Covenant Within, Thorns Without

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, your 'house' is the outward conditions of life, while the 'everlasting covenant' is the steadfast inner agreement with the I AM, the timeless consciousness you awaken to. When you acknowledge that covenant, you shift from seeking external growth to recognizing that salvation and true desire are states of consciousness already present. The 'sons of Belial'—those rebellious, thorn-like thoughts—appear, yet they cannot be grasped or controlled by force; their power fades under the certainty of the inner covenant. The phrase 'ordered in all things' signals a perfect inner arrangement guiding experience, not a future event dependent on circumstance. By dwelling in the awareness of this covenant, you align with a law that orders life from within, and outer appearances gradually reflect that inner harmony. In short: the covenant remains your true state; everything else is the movement of appearances responding to your truth.
