Forty Years of Inner Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater, the wilderness is a state of consciousness, not a place. The forty years symbolize a long, steady pattern of trusting the I AM rather than the senses. God is the I AM, the living awareness that sustains you; the verse declares you lack nothing because this awareness is ever-present. The unwearied clothes and unwounded feet are symbols that your body and world are obedient to your belief. When you hold the assumption that the I AM is your constant source, outward conditions bow to that truth. The desert dissolves as faith becomes your habitual sensation; supply arises where you expect it least because it is already within. Your power to live without want rests on realizing you are the one who provides for yourself through the divine Presence within. Make this revision in your heart: 'I am sustained now by the I AM; I lack for nothing.' Let this awareness permeate your being until it becomes your ordinary experience.
