Inner Word Shield of Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this proverb, the 'word of God' is not a distant scripture alone but the pure, unaltered state of your awareness. To say that every word is pure is to acknowledge that your inner speech, when aligned with the I AM, becomes a shield around your life. The shield is the steady conviction that you are held by a truth bigger than fear; trust melts resistance and makes the world obey the inward decree. When the text warns, 'Add thou not unto his words,' it calls you back from improvisation and doubt. Any mental addition—justifying lack, complicating the simple, or projecting conditions—is a betrayal of the inner law. Revision requires you to return to the bare, unadorned statement of truth and dwell there until it feels real. As you maintain the integrity of the inner word, your outer circumstances reflect a living certainty. Your longing for results is transmuted into stillness; you discover that the external is the echo of an unchanging inner decree. The I AM, not the verse, is the final authority—and faith in that takes you safely through.
