Inner Dwelling of God Within

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s afflictions are not mere memories of suffering; they are the stirring of a consciousness that craves God’s indwelling. The vow he makes is the turning point in the drama of self: a decision to admit the mighty God of Jacob into the citadel of his being. When he says he will not enter the outer tabernacle of his house or surrender to sleep until he discovers a place for the LORD, he announces a practical inner discipline: desire joined to an unwavering assumption. The outer life yields to the inner vision; the sleep of the eyelids is only the illusion that the self can rest while the I AM remains unawakened. By choosing to locate the divine presence inside, you are not thwarting time but reordering it—present moments enlarge, afflictions dissolve into quiet expectancy, and the memory of God becomes the conviction of your reality. In this inner temple, you discover that the LORD truly dwells where you refuse to surrender the reigns of awareness to fear or doubt. The habitation becomes your normal state, and all outer longing aligns with that inner truth.
