Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Zephaniah speaks of the I AM within you as the mighty presence. The 'midst' is your current state of awareness, where you imagine and form reality. When you accept that this inner Lord saves, you do not petition a distant god; you awaken to the truth that your own consciousness is the power to change. Trust is the act of assuming the already-real state: you are saved now, you are sustained by love, and joy will rise as you align with it. The verse says He will rejoice over thee with joy and rest in his love; this is the inward response of the I AM to your turn toward it. If you feel distance or fear, revise: 'The Lord is here in my midst, mighty to save; I am loved, I am sung over by the very melody of consciousness.' When you feel this as real, the outward world follows as the echo of inner harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe slowly, place awareness at the center of your chest, and assume 'The Lord is in my midst, mighty to save.' Feel the loving presence flood you, as if God were singing over you, right now.
