River of Peace Through Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the Lord is the I AM, the aware presence that knows and feels. The commandment is not an external rule but a call to align your inner states. When you hearken to the inner commandments—your choosing, your attention, your feeling—peace shifts from being a distant river to your living current. You imagine yourself as one whose thoughts are steady, whose desires align with truth, and your world responds with calm. The river of peace flows to the degree that you stop scattering your focus with fear or doubt; the waves of righteousness rise when you stand in the awareness that you are already that righteousness, here and now. The verse laments the gap between inner decree and outer experience; close the gap by assuming the feeling of the fulfilled commandment. See peace as your natural state and righteousness as your habitual response to every circumstance. In this view, obedience is not burden but a turning of attention to the I AM, and the outer world becomes a faithful echo of your inner alignment.
