Inner Famine, Inner Provision
2 Kings 6:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Kings 6:28–29 tells of a famine and a desperate exchange between two women; one woman’s child is cooked and eaten, while the other’s is hidden. The scene exposes how fear and scarcity can erupt into extreme actions.
Neville's Inner Vision
2 Kings 6:28–29 is a parable of consciousness. The famine is not in the fields but in your inner sense of lack; the king’s question, What aileth thee? mirrors the mind asking which aspect of awareness is distressed. The two women are rival states of consciousness—the one demanding, the other hiding the remedy. The act of boiling and eating embodies how belief in scarcity can consume its own future, while Providence remains within, awaiting your alignment. The solution is a revision of the scene in imagination: refuse the appetite of fear, assume abundance, and feel it as already present. In your inner theater, you say, I AM prospering now, and you feed the inner child—the future self, the seed idea—with gratitude and trust. When you dwell in that I AM reality, the outward scene dissolves, and you discover that providence moves as you align with the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, rest your hand on your chest, and revise the scene by declaring 'I AM prospering now.' Visualize feeding the inner child with abundance until you feel it in your bones.
