Refuge and Strength Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the aliveness of your I AM, the psalm states what you already are: refuge and power here and now. God is not a distant rescuer but a present consciousness of safety you can enter the moment you imagine. When you claim God as your refuge, you choose a state of security and protection, a fortress built by your awareness. Strength becomes the steadiness of your inner weather: a calm, unwavering sense that trouble is met by a force that does not withdraw but steadies you. In Neville's terms, you shift from watching trouble to inhabiting the solution; you revise your sense of self until your inner atmosphere becomes a sanctuary. The present help is not outside you; it is the immediacy of your life, the I AM that remains when you drop fear and cling to the feeling of being kept. As you persist in this assumption, your outer scenes bend toward your inner order, and you discover that what you feared can soften or dissolve by the power of your declared state.
