Inner Sword Against Shadows

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the verse as a mirror of your inner life. The 'wicked' with sword and bow are not distant enemies but stubborn thoughts and fears you have entertained as if they possess reality. The 'poor and needy' and the 'upright' are the vulnerable and the righteous folds of your own consciousness, moved by your imagination. When you feel attacked or cast down, you are merely feeding a battlefield inside, drawing instruments from memory to threaten your peace. Yet the I AM, your pure awareness, does not fear; it simply imagines a sovereign inner reality. To reinterpret, observe the scene and declare that you stand now in upright consciousness where no external force can undo your calm. As you revise fear and keep faith with the inner light, you withdraw the imagined weaponry and empower justice from within. The world you experience will align with the inner claim you repeatedly entertain, for imagination is the form-giving power of God within you.
