Neville Goddard on Ruth 2:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 2 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

12The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

Ruth 2:11-12

Biblical Context

Boaz recognizes Ruth's loyalty to Naomi and her courageous move to a people she did not know. He proclaims that the LORD will recompense her work, as she trusts under God's wings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth's act of leaving her homeland and clinging to Naomi is not a historical note but a demonstration of a state of consciousness. The man Boaz who speaks these words is the inner voice of your own awareness—the I AM—acknowledging your faithful conduct toward the Naomi within you. When it is said that Ruth had come to trust the LORD under whose wings she seeks refuge, the statement points to a present, not a future, arrangement of mind. To imagine it as true is to realize that the divine law of recompense is already at work within you, allocating protection, favor, and a full reward to the faithful acts you quietly perform in alignment with your inner divine will. The wings symbolize a protective, nurturing consciousness that covers you as you move beyond the familiar into new territories of thought and feeling. When you entertain this as a lived normality, your outward circumstances begin to reflect the inner trust you have cultivated, and the reward you seek comes as an inner confirmation that you have not wandered but journeyed toward your true home in God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I am under the wings of the divine, and the Lord's recompense is already mine; let this be your present reality.
