Read Lamentations 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
Lamentations 5:10

Biblical Context

The verse records a brutal famine and its effect on the body. Yet it serves as a symbol of deprivation within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as spoken to your own imagination rather than a distant history. The color of the skin is not literal pigment but the visible effect of a mind convinced there is no sustenance. Famine here is an inner drought, a belief that your supply has vanished. If you accept that belief, you obey it; if you question it, you displace it with the awareness that I AM is the source of all nourishment. Your true body is consciousness, and events are movements of imagination within that consciousness. Begin from stillness and declare quietly: I AM the abundance that nourishes me now. Then feel a warmth rise, a cycle of sense of plenty, until the inner sense of lack dissolves. As you persist, the outer skin, the body’s appearance, shifts to reflect your revised state, not the contrary. You are not subject to famine but to the decree of your own I AM, which never flees nor fails. You are teaching your mind to remember what you already are: the unwavering abundance of life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, revise the scene by affirming I AM abundance now and feel it real until it saturates your body. Proceed as though the famine never occurred.
