Steady Steps in Divine Paths

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the 'paths' are states of consciousness, not roads. 'Hold up my goings in thy paths' becomes a command I give to the I AM within to sustain my movements on a divine order. Footsteps slip when the mind wavers—when fear, habit, or self-will trips over a truth we have not fully accepted. When I imagine myself apart from Providence, I stumble; when I realize I am the consciousness in which Providence acts, movement becomes secure. The 'paths' are the steady habits of consciousness—obedience, truth, faithfulness—that align me with the Presence of God. To experience this, I do not beg for aid but assume I am already on that path, that my next step is being held by the same intelligence that upholds the whole world. I revise any sense of lack by dwelling in the feeling of being led, and I feel the momentum of divine order moving through me. In this light, the road becomes a manifestation of my inner truth, and my footfalls slip not because someone watches over me but because I have become the watchful presence myself.
