Inner Defense of the Upright Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened mind, Psalms 7:10 speaks not of stone and shield, but of the conviction that the I AM is our defense. Upright in heart means a state of consciousness undisturbed by fear, where integrity and love flow from the inner watchfulness of God within. When you entertain the feeling that God guards you because you stand in the truth of your own being, you are not asking for protection from without, you are aligning with the very law that creates reality. In this light, fear dissolves as your awareness identifies with the peaceful, defending force that governs perception. The 'saveth' in heart is the healing act of consciousness: when you perceive yourself as beloved, protected, and coherent with divine order, your surroundings reflect that inner harmony. Practice trusts that defense is already resident in you, as you are the upright one in heart, and God’s activity moves through your life like a bright, unseen shield. Your job is to maintain the stance—assume, revise, and feel-it-real—until your outer world proves the inward truth.
