Remnant Trusts the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are the remnant, the quiet center within who refuses to depend on the smiter of your life. The verse asks you to switch your allegiance from outward force to the inner LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. In Neville’s terms, the smiter is not a person but a state of fear, lack, or obstruction—habits of believing you are at the mercy of circumstance. Your I AM—your present consciousness—must stay fixed upon the LORD as your permanent fact. When you do, the external pressure loses its grip, for you are no longer feeding it with attention. The remnant’s trust is not passive resignation but active alignment: you imagine, feel, and accept the truth that the LORD dwells in you now, providing power, direction, and protection. The inner shift precedes any outer change; you live from the end, not toward it. Stay with the LORD in truth, and the world’s so-called smiters fade into the background, replaced by an inner peace that whispers, ‘I AM the reality you seek.’
