Walking in Inner Reverence

Neville's Inner Vision

To Nehemiah's charge, the inner reader responds: the true fear of God is the steady awareness of I AM at the center of your life, not trembling before external forces. When the world whispers reproach, those words are but the weather of appearances. You are being invited to align your inner state with divine order, making choices from the certainty that you are loved, protected, and guided by God within. The reproach of the heathen disappears as your imagination holds the vision of yourself under the all-seeing eye of truth. In this light, obedience, faithfulness, holiness, and discernment arise not from coercion but from the settled conviction that you are the image of God in expression. By imagining yourself as already governed by this divine law, your thoughts, words, and deeds reflect the harmony of heaven on earth. The outer scene becomes more quiet because your inner vision is fixed on the unshakeable you who lives by God wisdom. Thus Nehemiah's warning becomes a daily practice: revise fear into reverent trust, and authority flows from within.
