Read Jeremiah 37 in context

Scripture Focus

Jeremiah 37:21

Biblical Context

Jeremiah is confined in the prison court and fed daily until the city runs out of bread. The passage highlights endurance and faith under harsh circumstances.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's prison is a condition of the mind, and the daily bread is the steady nourishment of awareness you permit into it. In Neville's psychology, confinement does not change your essence; it reveals the state of your consciousness. The bread you receive represents the thoughts and feelings you continuously affirm as true: I AM, the self-sustaining presence within you. If you feel trapped, revise the scene by claiming that the I AM supplies you in every moment, not the baker's street but the abundance of your inner life. Feast on that I AM until the sense of lack dissolves; imagine the bread as a symbol of divine supply, not a mere meal. The city's end of bread is the turning point where you realize the walls cannot imprison a consciousness that knows itself as God. Your future is present in the end you are imagining now: health, safety, and freedom arise as you maintain the feeling of sovereignty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In stillness, assume the I AM is the daily bread you receive; revise your sense of confinement by feeling the inner supply as real now.
