Trusting the LORD Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the external threat is replaced by a declaration: I put my trust in the LORD. The 'soul' asking 'how can you say, flee to your mountain' is the wandering thought that believes security lies in outward places. Neville would say the mountain and the bird are inner images, not geography. The psalmist chooses to stay within the sanctuary of awareness, not to run. Trust is a choice of consciousness, a steady assumption that the I AM defends, provides, and guides. When I dwell in the recognition that God is my present perception, the sensation of danger collapses into stillness. The outer scene then rearranges to match this inner certainty because imagination creates reality. Therefore practice: assume you are already living in the LORD; revise the fear by saying, 'I am in God now,' and feel the calm widen through every cell. As you persist, you will discover the inner mountain is a state of consciousness, always accessible, always safe.
