Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Faith in the I AM within replaces any external petition. The 'LORD' in your reading is the inner awareness that stands as your rock, fortress, and deliverer. When you declare 'my strength, in whom I will trust,' you are choosing to inhabit the state of power rather than beg for it. The horn of salvation and the high tower are not distant structures but your own faculties—discernment, courage, and elevated perspective—standing at attention behind your awareness. To call upon the LORD is to summon this inner presence with gratitude and expectancy, not with fear, for praise trains the heart to recognize what is already true: you are saved in the present moment by the I AM that you are. Enemies in this reading are nothing more than fleeting thoughts, conditions of lack, or doubt that lose their power when you acknowledge your being as the power behind all acts. So shall you be saved from them by the steady, conscious identification with the I AM. Practice now: assume you are already supported by this inner strength, feel it real, and let gratitude echo back to your own consciousness.
