Ruth 1: Turning Toward Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Ruth 1:10–13 through the I AM lens is to see the characters as states of mind. The 'daughters' are aspects of your consciousness clinging to a familiar landscape; Naomi's plea to 'turn again' is the stubborn habit of thinking you must retreat from possibility. When she laments that the hand of the LORD is against her, she reveals a mistaken interpretation of circumstance as fate rather than a signal to revise belief. In Neville's psychology, events do not govern you; your inner conviction writes the story. The scene invites you to stop identifying with lack and to choose a new state: that the future holds provision, that your lineage of experience can continue in surprising forms. By silently assuming the truth that I AM is always with you, you rewrite the meant-to-be as you imagine it. Your attention, not fate, writes the story; so revise your assumption until you feel the reality of a forthcoming blessing, though old circumstances argue otherwise.
