Inner Rest and Divine Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the LORD is the I AM in you, and Jacob is your waking state that fears and strains. The lines do not describe distant lands but your inner settlement: when you fear, you are distant from rest; when you awaken to I AM, you are saved, restored, and at ease. The message 'I am with thee to save thee' becomes: your awareness is always present, always sufficient, and it alone does the saving, correcting you gently in measure. The stern language about punishment is not an external judgment but the natural correction that occurs when you identify with lack. If outer circumstances seem to end, you still remain; your true self does not die, it returns to quiet confidence. Therefore the invitation is to turn inward, claim the presence, and let your consciousness do the work of salvation. Your inner seed returns to its rightful habitation—rest and safety—by choosing the I AM now and refusing to be ruled by fear.
