Inner Renewal in Job 14:7

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the 'tree' represents your life in consciousness. When appearances cut you down—loss, delay, or failure—remember the power that made the tree resides within you as I AM. The message is inner transformation, not horticulture: the belief that lacks is pruned, and life expresses itself again. Your imagination is the soil; your feeling is the water; your faith is the sunlight. To see a sprout, you do not demand it from without; you assume it from within. Say to yourself, 'I Am the living tree; my branch of consciousness is ever renewing.' In that assumption, the old stump becomes the place where new growth begins; the tender shoot is a new idea, a revived feeling you accept as already present. Let the vitality fill your chest; dwell in the certainty that nothing is truly ended where the I AM is aware.
