Neville's Inner Vision

Now, in the sacred theater of your own mind, the LORD is your portion and your cup. See that 'portion' as the inward landscape of reality—the I AM consciousness in which you live and move. When you feel that God maintains your lot, you are not craving a future instruction; you are claiming a present order. The Covenant loyalty speaks as your unwavering trust: Providence is not outside you but the steady heartbeat of awareness that never abandons you. Imagination becomes the steward of your inheritance; through a firm assumption that the divine order presides over your fate, your cup overflows with the means, timing, and direction you require. Make the present reality your dwelling place: the more you claim the LORD as your portion, the more your life resolves within that holy arrangement, and events rearrange themselves to reflect it. You are safe, guided, and richly supplied because you have chosen to dwell in this inner provision.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'The LORD is my portion and my cup; my lot is maintained by divine order.' Feel the sense of inner abundance filling you as if your whole life is held by a single, compassionate Presence.
