Biblical Context
Proverbs 21:31 contrasts outward preparation with inner safety: you may ready a horse for battle, but real security rests in the LORD within. In Neville’s view, the outer is useful, yet consciousness determines safety.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the horse as your outward plans—maps, contingencies, and tools you gather for the day of battle. The verse says: be prepared, yet safety ultimately comes from the LORD within. In Neville’s practice, God is not a distant entity; God is the I AM you are aware of now. When you acknowledge that awareness as your only security, you shift from relying on externals to relying on consciousness. The external horse may gallop, but safety flows from your inner state of faith, trust, and consistent imagining. As you steadily imagine yourself sheltered by divine presence, you demonstrate the truth that life moves in response to inner states. Each moment you feel the Lord within, you invest in a future that cannot fail when you remain in the awareness of the I AM. Therefore, revise any thought of fear by returning to this inner truth, and let your actions be the natural expression of a mind that knows itself as safety.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and repeat I AM safety until the feeling of divine presence settles in. Then revise any fear by affirming you are held by the inner LORD here and now.
