Inner Vocation and Truthful Words

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 17:16 presents not a report of external events but a posture of inner consistency. The word 'pastor' becomes the inner shepherding of life - your daily vocation to tend thoughts, to govern reaction, to set your inner stage with truth. You are not fleeing the scene for brighter days; you are choosing to stay with the work that your inner I AM requires. When you say, 'that which came out of my lips was right before thee,' you are describing a mouth that speaks from the divine mind, not from fear or whim. If you fear the woeful day, you are misreading the script; revise the inner image until your spoken word reflects the unassailable reality of God within you. Your imagination is the instrument by which you become; cultivate the sense that your words are already true, and watch appearances bend to that truth. The practice is a deliberate alignment of speech and inner conviction, knowing the law of faith writes your life from the inside out.
