Inner Trees, Home Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the trees of the LORD as the living states of your own mind, each sap-filled limb a quality you allow to flow through awareness. When the verse says the cedars of Lebanon, planted by God, think of steadfast beliefs and disciplined ideas you have planted in imagination and held in faith. The birds nesting in the branches are your thoughts and feelings that find shelter in the mind you are cultivating; you are not at the mercy of fleeting impressions, you are the dwelling place you choose. The stork’s home in the fir trees is your inner architecture—habitats you create with attention, environments where life can build and dwell. The high hills, refuges for wild goats, symbolize elevated perspectives from which you observe and protect your desires; the rocks for the conies are the firm places in consciousness where fear cannot reach. Providence is the I AM within, a constant presence that makes your inner landscape real by attention and sensation. Your work is to imagine you are planted by this Life, and to feel that your inner world is the living stage of divine provision.
