Inner Guard of the Lord

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner story, 'unreasonable and wicked men' are personifications of your restless mind and external pressures. They appear to test your faith, reminding you that faith is not universal in the crowd. But the Lord is faithful—the I AM within you that never wavers. He shall establish you, fix your center, and keep you from evil by the alignment of your consciousness with divine law. Deliverance is not mainly through changing people but through becoming conscious of your invulnerability in God. When you assume the truth that you are held by a steady, benevolent presence, you create a buffering state—a inner guard that repels fear and keeps your peace intact. This does not deny outer danger; it transforms your relationship to it. The more you dwell in the feeling and assumption of being established, kept, and guided by the faithful Lord, the more outer appearances bend to your inner reality. Your faith acts as a magnet, drawing protection and order into your life.
