Dance Before the Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the theater of my mind, the ark is the Presence that steps into the city of my awareness. Michal, the critic of smallness, looks out a window and despises the wild joy of genuine worship, a reminder that doubt hates imagination when it leaps. But David within me rises as a state of consciousness that offers sacrifice and reverence, not to appease an external deity but to confirm that I AM here and now. When I offer burnt offerings of gratitude and peace offerings of release, I bless the whole image of my life—every neighbor, every circumstance—by distributing bread, flesh, and wine as symbols of nourishment, courage, and joy for all. The blessing is not a future event but a felt shift in imagination: you decide, you bless, you share, and the outward scene follows. The unity of inner devotion and outward abundance reveals that the Presence is not distant; it is the I AM flowing through my decisions, regenerating the day, making generosity normal, and making every home a tabernacle where God dwells.
