Inner Girding and Elevation

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true name is I AM, and God is the awareness that dwells in you. When you read, 'It is God that girdeth me with strength,' you hear the voice of your own consciousness assuring you that strength is not from without but from the very nature of your being. The way is 'perfect' not by change in the road but by the alignment of your inner state with the truth of your divine I AM. 'Feet like hinds' feet' become your secure step into high places when you stand in the certainty that you are supported by the eternal right hand of God, that which holds you up and leads you upward. 'A bow of steel is broken by mine arms' speaks of the power of belief—the hardened problems collapse under the pressure of unwavering faith. The 'shield of thy salvation' is your inner protection, your sense of safety and deliverance as you dwell in God. The line 'gentleness hath made me great' tells you that true strength is tempered by tenderness, and that this combination enlarges your life and authority.
