Biblical Context

Rest in the LORD and wait patiently; do not fret over others' prosperity or schemes, and cease from anger.

Neville's Inner Vision

Rest in the LORD is an invitation to rest in the I AM, the ever-present awareness that you are. When you take a moment to observe the inner state, the outer scene becomes a reflection of your consciousness, not a command. If you dwell on the one who prospers by harsher means, you are letting the mind treat appearance as reality. Neville would guide you to revise the scene from the stillness within: tell yourself, I am at rest in the I AM; the law within me governs all. Picture the outward figure not as an enemy but as a sign of your inner balance manifesting in time. In this vantage, anger fades, for it is a noise within the consciousness that disturbs peace. The command to cease from wrath is a refusal to energize evil thoughts; you do not cast blame but withdraw attention. Your true work is to cultivate the conviction that prosperity and peace spring from your inner state, and the world merely reflects that state. As you dwell there—patient, serene—the external conditions quietly align with your inner truth, without struggle.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and revise the scene: I rest in the I AM, and the outer world moves in harmony with this inner peace. Feel it as real.
