Nahum 2:1-2 Inner Fortitude

Neville's Inner Vision

An inquisitive approach to the lines reveals that the 'dashing in pieces' is not happening to you from without but within. The face that seems to threaten is a signal: guard your munition, watch the way you move through your thoughts, and gird your spirit with a decisive I AM. When the LORD turns away the excellency of Jacob, what occurs is a shift in allegiance from borrowed outward glory to the inner identity of pure awareness. The emptiers are the habitual thoughts that drain vitality—the fear, the doubt, the need for approval—that have emptied your vines of joy. Yet you are called to fortify the inner garden, to strengthen the loins of purpose, to make your power mighty by imagining yourself as complete, supplied, and undisturbed. In this view, outward circumstances reflect your inner state; you can reverse the sense of loss by assuming the feeling of fullness already realized in your life. Begin from the I AM here and now, and let the outer world align with that inner decree.
