Enduring Divine Counsel Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 19:21 teaches that the heart harbors many devices—visions, schemes, fears—yet the LORD's counsel endures. In Neville's framing, your real life is the result of the state you assume. The 'devices' are memories and imaginations flashing across the screen of awareness, but the enduring truth is the unchanging I AM, the inner divine plan that cannot be overturned by circumstance. When you find yourself torn between a dozen dreams, stop and shift your allegiance to the LORD's counsel. Do not fight the devices; rather, align your inner assumption with the certainty that the good you seek is already established in your awareness. Feel yourself living from the end as if the counsel has already spoken, and let that feeling quietly revise the picture your senses report. Eventually the outer world will reflect the settled, unwavering decision of your true self, because you have allowed the one standing counsel to govern your day.
