I Am With The Lad: Inner Providence

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 21:20 reveals that the I AM is with the lad, and by that you are given the inner condition that makes growth possible. The lad is your seed of desire, the future you, and the wilderness is the inner desert where appearances seem hard and empty. When you dwell in the awareness that God is with the lad, you no longer beg for provision but become the provision, the one whose presence draws strength, skill, and direction. He grows because consciousness of the I AM expands; he dwells in solitude yet learns to endure, and from that inner endurance he becomes an archer—one who aims with clarity, whose life is directed by intention rather than accident. The key is to shift from external seeking to inner assumption: the presence of God is the mind's steady fact, and through it your vocation and future are already formed. Providence is not a distant event but the subtle movement of your awareness becoming stable, focused, and ready to meet the world with deliberate aim.
