The Bread of Tears Within

Psalms 80:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 80 in context

Scripture Focus

5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
Psalms 80:5

Biblical Context

Plainly, Psalm 80:5 paints a picture of a people sustained by tears: sorrow is used as nourishment, a divine provision that accompanies their journey. It suggests that hardship itself can serve as a catalyst for spiritual nourishment when viewed through divine consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's language: The bread of tears is not a diet of misery but a symbolic feast for your inner state. God is not a distant God feeding you pain; the I AM you are feeds your awareness with the nourishment of emotion, so that your present state is exactly what you imagine and feel. The verse invites you to notice that tears are not random; they are the energy your consciousness uses to fashion a new sense of being. When you drink tears in great measure, you are, in fact, drinking the energy that questions and longs for relief. By turning to the inner God within and declaring I am fed by the bread of tears unto transformation, you reinterpret suffering as a signal to revise your assumption. The inner movement moves from lack to fullness as you persist in the feeling of the state you desire: quiet confidence, gratitude, and the assurance that the I AM provides. In this view, nourishment comes not from outer circumstances but from your conscious act of accepting a new state: the awareness that you are already that which you seek.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, and assume the I AM is your host; imagine tasting the bread of tears and feeling it transform into peace. Hold the feeling for a few minutes as you revise the sense of lack into the sense of abundance.
