Read Genesis 41 in context

Scripture Focus

47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

49And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

Genesis 41:47-49

Biblical Context

The seven plenteous years symbolize an inner season of abundance; Joseph stores the grain, showing how your inner state can organize and preserve nourishment for times of need.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the seven plenteous years are seven states of consciousness where imagination is active and the I AM governs wisely. Joseph stands for the inner administrator, the I AM within you gathering the nutriment of your thoughts and laying it away in the stores of awareness. The harvest described as immeasurable is the clear sign of a consciousness aligned with fullness; when you dwell in the feeling that abundance is already present, you become the one who stores, not the one who lacks. The act of gathering is not for output alone but for inner continuity: you conserve what nourishes life and trust your inner storehouse to meet every need. Providence is not distant but immanent, your consciousness at work balancing what you conceive with what you imagine.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and boldly assume the state of I AM as the inner storekeeper; visualize gathering nourishment and locking it in the granary of your mind. Then feel the abundance as present now and carry that feeling into your next moment.
