When Thirst Speaks, Bread Responds

Lamentations 4:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 4 in context

Scripture Focus

4The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
Lamentations 4:4

Biblical Context

The verse depicts a thirsty, starving child whose tongue sticks to the roof of the mouth. Others seek bread, yet no one provides it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of your inner weather: the tongue that cleaves to the roof of the mouth is the sign of a mind convinced life's nourishment is not available. The thirst is not a literal drink but a belief in deprivation; the child asks bread, yet the room of supply seems empty because your present state says, 'There is not enough.' In Neville's psychology, events are states of consciousness; lack persists only as your inner posture. The remedy is to revise that posture by assuming the feeling of the very bread you seek, and to feel as though the bread has already entered you through imagination. When you dwell in the I AM, you realize you are both the demander and the answer. Your responsibility is to entertain a memory of abundance until it becomes your present experience. If scarcity clings, bless it and choose a new premise: 'I am fed by the good I am,' and permit the imagination to supply in form.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the bread already in your mouth, tasting abundance; repeat 'I AM fed' until that impression feels real.
