Inner Rest Amid Fear Habakkuk 3:16-17

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the tremble of belly and quivering lips are not prophecies but signals of an old self clinging to a separated sense of survival. 'Rottenness entered into my bones' marks the crumbling of a belief in external security; 'the day of trouble' becomes the perfect stage on which you prove you are more than what appears. The famine of the fig tree and the yielding vines reflect inner droughts—loved thoughts and desires kept hostage by fear. But you can revise them by assuming a new state of consciousness, the awareness that you are the I AM, perpetual abundance incarnate. See the mind’s garden begin to bear fruit as you dwell in this awareness; the outer scene then shifts to match the inner reality. In this light, what Habakkuk calls judgment and tribulation becomes the measure by which you prove your oneness with the I AM, resting in the day of trouble instead of shrinking from it.
