Silent Before the Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah 2:13 invites you to suspend the outer noise and meet the LORD where he already dwells: in your own I AM. The verse names the flesh—your restless thoughts, senses, and egoic chatter—as something to quiet, for the living Presence is not distant but raised up from his holy habitation inside. When you assume the feeling of this awareness—the sense that you are the witness, not the crowd of voices—the inner sanctuary stirs to life. The 'raised up' is the rise of consciousness, the Lord appearing from the inner temple into your daily perception. Holiness and separation are not separations from life but the discipline of attention: you choose the one Presence over the many orders of fear, doubt, or desire. True worship, in Neville's sense, is not ceremony but alignment: to be aware of the I AM as ruling governor, to let the world around you reflect that reality. In that stillness, purity of intention replaces confusion; your inner habitation becomes the stage where reality is formed by belief properly attended to. Silence is your instrument; awareness, your creation.
