Fall Into the Lord's Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the 'great strait' is not a geographical squeeze but a state of consciousness. David’s choice to fall into the LORD's hand means surrendering to the I AM presence within, the realization that mercy is a perpetual state available to the awakened mind. When he says 'his mercies are great,' Neville would have us hear the eternal, universal mercy that meets every mental vibration. The 'hand of man' represents the fallible, transient opinions of others—social verdicts that would keep you small. But the I AM—your true self—has a power so abundant that it transcends any human constraint. To imagine yourself in the LORD's mercy is to align with your true nature, the state of grace that already surrounds and sustains you. The moment you accept mercy as your natural condition, you stop negotiating with fear and begin confirming your oneness with the divine. This is rhetoric of faith becoming fact: you revise the sense of danger into a certainty of benevolent law, and you feel the relief of being carried by an ever-present mercy.
