Rooted in Him: A Neville Reading

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Colossians 2:7 is not telling you about a future event but about the state you presently inhabit. Rooted and built up in him means you are already anchored in the divine idea of your own being—the I AM that never leaves God. To be established in the faith is to align your attention with the unchanging Truth within, rather than chasing sensations or circumstances. When you abound in thanksgiving, you are acknowledging that your life flows from the immutable presence within, not from external favors. The verse urges you to hold this inner configuration until it becomes your habitual outlook, your vibration, your sense of self. Notice that 'in him' points to your unity with the divine principle that gives life, steadiness, and growth. As you dwell in this inner state, events appear as reflections in a mirror fashioned by your own consciousness; you do not seek faith, you are faith, rooted in the one substance of God. Let this knowing crown your day, and your outer world will reverently rearrange itself to fit the established truth you hold.
