Inner Refuge Amid Storms

Neville's Inner Vision

The verses present outer chaos as a mirror of your inner weather. When the mind chants of nations raging and the earth melting, observe that this is the theatre of belief in action. The true refuge is not found in changing events but in recognizing the Lord of hosts as the indwelling I AM—awareness that remains constant no matter what appears. To reinterpret this text, affirm within, 'The LORD of hosts is with me; the God of Jacob is my refuge.' In Neville's logic, that declaration stirs imagination into reality; it shifts the state from fear to trust by the power of inner feeling. The outer scene then conforms to the new state, as if the earth itself melts away beneath a security already present. Let the Selah be your pause to let this truth saturate body and nerve; the sense of safety is not earned but awakened by alignment with the inner Presence. Your mental world becomes the kingdom where God’s presence rules, and external disturbance dissolves before it.
