Steady Footsteps Within

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse speaks not to a physical stumble but to a moment of consciousness wobble. The feet that feel as if they might fail are the mind clinging to separation from the I AM. In Neville’s reading, you are not subject to external instability; you are the awareness that chooses its state. When you identify with fear or lack, the world mirrors that inner condition and appears unsteady. Yet the inner I AM remains constant, and the moment you revise the scene within—declaring, in effect, that you are the I AM, and this ground is your ground—outer appearances must align with that truth. The Psalm becomes an invitation to discipline the imagination: dwell in the feeling of being upheld by an indestructible presence, and let the sense of solidity replace the sensation of slipping. By treating the near-fall as information about your present state and applying a decisive shift back to consciousness, you restore footing before the outer steps even move.
