Dwelling in the Land: Inner Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the word as a picture of your own inner state: the crowd hears 'fear not to serve the Chaldeans' and assumes submission to a harsh fate. Yet Gedaliah's charge is not political; it is an inner directive. The Chaldeans are any dominating circumstance pressing upon you, any belief that you are imprisoned. To fear them is to fear your own power; to serve them is to acknowledge that you are the ruler of your inner country. Dwell in the land—your present consciousness—fully, and serve the king of Babylon—the ruling thought that governs your world—with faith. If you align with that king, you stop resisting and allow the Life that you are to flow through. Then the promised well-being appears not as a distant reward, but as a natural expression of your inner order. Providence is the law of your imagination: what you accept as true within you becomes your outward arrangement. Trust, obey inwardly, and you align with the I AM that is always guiding you toward wholeness.
