Inner Refuge: The LORD Defense

Neville's Inner Vision

See the evildoers not as distant enemies but as the old fearful thoughts that threaten your peace. The cry, Unless the LORD had been my help, is the coaching of your present consciousness, naming the condition under which you live when you forget your I AM. When you feel your footing slip, recall that mercy is the sustaining energy of awareness and that you are held by a divine upholding. The multitude of thoughts within you become your ally when you align them with the truth that God is your rock of refuge. Do not allow the throne of iniquity to legislate in your inner court; through inner acknowledgment of the Lord's defense, condemnation and harm lose their power. Your defense is the living presence of God within you, and as you rest in that awareness, the external storms fade and the inner self is cut free from its own bondage. In this light, the Lord acts as conqueror, redeeming your inner landscape and restoring true peace.
