Evening Departure Into Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

On the surface, the verse notes a simple outward movement: evening comes and he goes out of the city. In the Neville lens, the city is a state of consciousness—the bustling outward world of appearances. When evening arrives, you are invited to close the door on that old script and walk into the inner city where the I AM—the awareness that you are—remains unchanged. The act of leaving is not escape but a deliberate alignment: faithfulness to the inner vision that guides your steps even as the day closes. The inner presence persists when the outer scene cools; the Kingdom is not a place to reach but a state you inhabit. Allow the quiet moment to reveal that your attention can turn from external events toward the certainty of God within, and let that certainty govern your responses, your choices, and your sense of self.
