Inner Table in the Wilderness

Neville's Inner Vision

Israel's march through the wilderness is a mirror of your own mind's journey. The wilderness represents the place where old patterns of lack seem to prevail, and the question, 'Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?' is the mind's stubborn doubt about its own I AM-ness. When they urged for meat, and when they spoke against God, that is the inner debate between fear and faith within you. The rock is smitten by a word—the living assumption you plant—causing the waters to gush and the wilderness to overflow with the sense of abundance. Not by changing landscapes, but by changing consciousness, do you move from want to manifest provision. So, revise: I am the I AM, and I provide the table now, here in my inner wilderness. See the bread appear as a vivid inner image; feel the nourishment as a fact of your being. Then the outer scene follows, not as a struggle to obtain, but as the natural expression of a mind that has turned inwards and found its source in God, the I AM.
