Waiting With the LORD: Inner Shield

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 33:20 invites you to see the LORD not as a distant figure, but as the inner I AM that you already are aware of. Your soul waits not in lack, but in the confidence that the Source you seek is the very consciousness by which you exist. When you identify with the awareness that you are attended by God, the ‘help’ and the ‘shield’ come forth as states of mind you can claim now. Trust becomes a present-tense practice: you dwell in the feeling that guidance and protection are your current conditions of awareness. Providence unfurls as you maintain that inner assumption, until the outer world begins to follow the reality you have assumed in imagination. The more consistently you revise any sense of danger by affirming, 'I am held by the I AM,' the more your future arrangements align with that inward state. Imagination creates this protection by virtue of your belief; you are not awaiting aid so much as becoming the consciousness in which aid and shield are already real.
