Inner Word, Inner Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the word of God as the living law of my own consciousness. When I study Psalm 119:161-168, the princes who persecute are only outer appearances; the real me stands in awe of the I AM revealed by the word. My heart does not bow to circumstance; it bows to the immutable order of truth within. To rejoice at thy word is to cherish the inner spoil—the riches of alignment, clarity, and a steady feeling-state that cannot be shaken by outward attack. I hate lies and love thy law because truth is freedom; seven times a day I praise the inner judgments because they untie fear’s knots and bring me into peaceful stillness. Great peace have they which love thy law; and in that peace nothing shall offend me. If I have hoped for thy salvation and kept thy commandments, know that salvation is the realization of my I AM in harmonious action. My soul keeps thy testimonies and loves them exceedingly, and my ways are before thee, as the I AM walks in the awareness of thy word.
