Gratitude and Inner Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville lens, this verse becomes a turning of consciousness. The Jonah spoken here is not a man of history but a state of awareness choosing to awaken. The 'sacrifice' is the mind offering the voice of thanksgiving, a vibration that invites the I AM to take the throne of perception. When you declare 'I will sacrifice... with the voice of thanksgiving,' you are not petitioning an external god; you are asserting a preferred state in your own inner atmosphere. The vow to pay what you have vowed translates as a steadfast commitment to the inner decree you make in imagination, refusing to let negative images override your chosen reality. 'Salvation is of the LORD' means salvation is the immediate activity of the divine I AM within you, not a distant rescue. As gratitude anchors you, the inner law of consciousness turns your attention from lack to fullness; the outer world follows the shift of awareness. Therefore, cultivate a daily habit: return to gratitude, renew your inner vow, and rest in the conviction that salvation is the I AM’s present work within you.
