Read Lamentations 5 in context

Scripture Focus

13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
Lamentations 5:13-14

Biblical Context

The passage shows a collapse of daily life: young men pressed to grind, children fall, and elders and music withdraw from the gate.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that what you call ruin is an inner state wearing the robe of outward events. The grinding of the young men and the children’s fall are images born from a belief that life is pressed and harsh. The elders ceasing at the gate and the absence of music signal a mental habit that vitality can be paused by circumstance. Yet you are the I AM, the consciousness that can revise any scene by imagining from the end you desire. Treat the outer as a mirror, not a dictator; assume a new inner condition and feel it real. Picture the gate open, the streets alive with song, and the people moving with joy, all because awareness has been awakened to vitality. You need not wait for a change in time or place—you need only change what you accept as true about yourself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: 'I AM the life behind all movement; I revise this moment now.' Then vividly picture the gate opening and the mood lifting, letting your inner music return.
