Job 30:3-4

Biblical Context

The passage recalls a time of want and desolation, where people endured in a barren place and scraped together rough food.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 30:3-4 speaks of famine and a wilderness that isolates the soul. In Neville terms, famine is a state of consciousness that believes it is separate from the I AM, and the wilderness is the inner space where imagination seems to starve. The memory of mallows and juniper roots becomes a symbol for beliefs we settled into when we forgot the Source within. The healing is a return to inner awareness: acknowledge that the I AM is present as your life, and imagine that nourishment flows from that living presence. When you imagine reality as the I AM and feel its fullness, the outer scene rearranges itself, the sense of isolation softens, and abundance replaces lack. You are not saved by external changes but by a shift in consciousness; your present world is a reflection of what you deem real in your own mind, and you can revise it now by choosing a different assumption and feeling it as true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling that you are nourished by the I AM now. Then revise any sense of lack by repeating I am the I AM, abundance is mine, until it feels real.
