Joel 1:7 Inner Harvest
Joel 1:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joel 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse expresses devastation to the speaker's vineyard and fig tree, symbols of abundance, signaling a loss that is felt in outer circumstances.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this line, the vine waste and the fig tree stripped are not outside facts but states of consciousness you are now attending to. The word 'He' is your own I AM, the living awareness that causes all experiences. When you say that your vines are laid waste, you are declaring a belief in lack, a view you have allowed to pretend it is nearly the whole reality. Yet the garden of your mind is always alive with unseen growth, and the bare branches are but temporary surface appearances, calling for a revision of inner premise. The verse invites you to turn from mourning the loss to re-embody the truth of abundance. Feel the soil of your mind as fertile; imagine sap rising, buds forming, fruit returning, even as you look at a scene of apparent famine. Your inner vision can resurrect what your senses report as gone. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled—an inner harvest—you align with your true nature and God within. The ruin becomes the portal to renewal.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene in present tense: I AM abundance in my life; I see the vine and fig tree flourishing; feel the soil warming with new growth.
