Hold Fast to Instruction

Neville's Inner Vision

I take fast hold of instruction, and I refuse to let it go. In this moment, I keep it as my life. The instruction is not a distant rule but a living standard arising from the I AM within me. My inner state chooses what I will accept as true; to cling to guidance is to cling to the very being that gives form to my world. When I cling, I am aligning with the creative power that imagines itself into reality. The word 'life' here means the steady, unfragmented consciousness that can govern appearances. If doubt arises, I revise it by returning to the image of myself as one who is guided, obedient, and steadfast. The life I live is the outer display of an inner decision to honor instruction; as I keep it, the days unfold in harmony with that inner law. Thus, the verse reveals a practical truth: awareness is life, and to hold fast to instruction is to hold fast to the living I AM within me.
