Inner Refuge Psalm 46:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, 'The LORD of hosts is with us' is not a geographical fact but a declaration of your present state. The 'LORD' is your own I AM awareness, the great host of possibilities that accompanies every moment. 'The God of Jacob is our refuge' signals that your refuge is not a place you reach, but a state you assume, a fortress built by your consciousness in which fear dissolves. Jacob's God is the intimate, personal power resident in you, a sanctuary you can enter by inner feeling rather than external assurance. When you dwell in this inner sanctuary, events on the outside soften, because you have recalled the truth that imagination creates reality and your inner state dictates outer appearances. Selah invites a pause: you rest in the knowing that the one consciousness in you holds all, and you are protected by it now. The verse becomes a practical reminder: shift from seeking safety to embodying safety, and your life will reflect the refuge you have already imagined.
