Isaiah 45:5

Biblical Context

Isaiah 45:5 declares that the Lord is the only true God and that He sustains you even when you do not recognize Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened heart, Isaiah 45:5 whispers that there is only the I AM in creation. 'I am the LORD' is not a distant deity but your own awareness, the sovereign power animating every moment. 'There is none else' dissolves all imagined rival powers as mere states in consciousness, not enduring facts. The girding mentioned here is not an external shield but the inner support of the one Presence that holds you intact; you may walk through life unknowing of It, yet It remains your sustaining activity. When you insist, 'I am the LORD's I AM,' you cease projecting power outward and invite the quiet certainty that your life is under the direction of this single consciousness. Every problem, every joy, every experience arises as a movement within that awareness, and your task is to align with it by imagining from the end: you are already guided, already held, already known by God in the depth of your being. That is how you live from the girding of the inner Lord rather than from fear or deficiency.
