Nahum 2:5 Inner Wall Fortified

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this verse speaks of your inner army—your cherished thoughts and beliefs—being counted as your strength. Yet when you turn to them, they stumble in their walk, showing that you have relied on externalities for security. The wall they race toward is the boundary your imagination has built between you and what you fear. The defense being prepared is not a future vote of soldiers, but the moment you revise your inner state and declare, in feeling and certainty, that you are already guarded by awareness. In Neville fashion, the stumbling is simply a signal that the old mental picture must be revised; the haste to the wall is the soul’s impulse to fortify with new conviction; and the defense, once felt as real now, is your awareness that the I AM is always present, surrounding, and defending you. You do not run to external walls; you close your eyes, recall a favored inner principle, and imagine it as established fact in this very moment. By feeling it real, the defense becomes permanent.
