The Path Before You

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse does not speak to distant history but to your inner life. Unbelief is your current state of consciousness when you mistake the signs of your own I AM for something outside you. The LORD your God is not a person roaming ahead; He is the I AM that goes before you in every moment, shaping the supposed future by the present assumption you entertain. The fire by night and cloud by day are the inner movements of imagination—the felt sense of direction and the clarity of purpose that reveal the next step. When you doubt, you are grumbling at the very act of awareness that arranges your life; you are resisting the truth that your desire is already seen and provided for in your own consciousness. The path is prepared by your discernment and the feeling of assurance that follows the assumption, not by external signs. To awaken, align your inner state with the conviction: I AM the one who guides and provides; I am going before myself.
