Neville's Inner Vision

All creation in Job 12:9-10 is speaking to your consciousness. The hand of the LORD is not distant power acting on separate life; it is the I AM stirring in you and through you. When you feel the life pulsing in your own chest, you are feeling the breath of God—the sustaining energy that animates all. The verse asks who does not know that this hand has wrought this? It lies in your awareness that every living thing, from the smallest thought to the vast event, is an expression of your inner state. To know this is to realize that you are not at the mercy of circumstance but the mastermind of arrangement. The life in you is the breath you give to attention; your faithfulness is shown by the consistency of your state. This is truth you can live: your world bends to the mood of your I AM, and the Father's order becomes your experience when you hold steady in the assumption of your divine nature.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, breathe, and declare the sentence The hand of the LORD works in me now, feeling the life within as your own I AM, and revise a concern into calm by that feeling-it-real.
