Inner Provision for True Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 6:9 speaks not to bricks and altars alone but to the state you inhabit within. The 'God of heaven' is the I AM you awaken to as awareness; the 'bullocks, rams, lambs, wheat, salt, wine, and oil' are the substances of your inner life—desire, discipline, gratitude, speech, and vitality—set aside for true worship. When you decide that provision for your inner altar will be given day by day, you are choosing a continual relationship with the soul that furnishes all things. The 'appointment of the priests' is the disciplined part of you that maintains the ritual—the habits of attention, faith, and obedience that keep your inner temple orderly. There is no lack because the command is: let it be given without fail. So imagine your inner temple already supplied; feel that the needs of your life are met by your I AM, according to your inner order. This is not begging; it is consciousness stating what is already true. Your practice is to revise every sense of shortage into a steadfast assumption that sustains worship and invites guidance, protection, and a daily manifestation of Providence.
