Bread of Providence in Famine

Genesis 41:53-54 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 41 in context

Scripture Focus

53And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Genesis 41:53-54

Biblical Context

The seven years of plenty end, and seven years of famine begin; in Egypt there is bread while all lands face drought.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner level, the passage marks a turn in consciousness. The ending of plenty and the onset of famine are not about geography but about the states we inhabit in mind. The bread Egypt enjoys is your inner supply—a steady image of abundance held by awareness that knows its own permanence. Joseph’s prediction is a record of an interior discipline: a mind prepared for all cycles, not swayed by appearances. When you rest in the I AM and insist that provision is a present, living reality, you transmute famine into bread. The famine that seems to afflict others becomes a projection of lack dissolved by one faithful image of sufficiency. Providence does not fix things from without; it awakens within and moves events to reflect that inner script. Thus the end of lack is achieved by a shift of consciousness, by choosing the state of abundance as your norm, and by feeling that state as real here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare 'I am abundance now' until it settles; then picture yourself holding bread and feel the sufficiency.
