Light of His Countenance Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's frame, the verse is a description of your inner state, not external events. The 'joyful sound' is the steady rhythm of awareness waking in you, a knowing that you stand in the light of thy countenance. To know it is to live from the I AM, so that your days are spent in rejoicing in thy name and in thy righteousness. Exaltation arises as you align your imagination with divine order—your 'horn' becomes power within, a confident expression of your true self rather than a rush of fortune. 'The Lord is our defense' becomes the quiet certainty of stillness protecting you, and 'the Holy One of Israel is our king' becomes your inner sovereignty, the throne you occupy by choice in imagination until it informs every action. When you dwell in this inward kingship, the outward world must bend to match the state you assume. You are not a subject of circumstance; you are the consciousness in which circumstance takes form. This is the invitation: awaken to your native holiness and let that inner light govern your life.
