Trust Over Pride: Inner Prosperity

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 28:25 presents two inner positions. A proud heart is a fixed, loud self-image that stirs strife, consumes energy, and creates conflict in thought and in the world of relationships. But to put trust in the LORD is to acknowledge and dwell in the I AM within—the constant awareness that you are, here and now, one with all-sufficiency. When you trust this inner LORD, you cease feeding the ego's need to prove, accumulate, or control. You therefore become "fat"—not by hoarding, but by a spacious inner life in which needs melt into perception and abundance flows as a natural expression of being. The outer scenes of difficulty fade as the mind accepts a higher reality: you are that infinite consciousness, and so all provision is yours by right of identity. Practice: assume the feeling of already having within you the fullness you seek, and let any prideful impulse dissolve by returning to the I AM. The moment that inner trust arrives, the stirring of strife quiets and you walk in ease.
