Ruth 3:4-7

Biblical Context

Ruth obeys Naomi's counsel, approaches Boaz at the threshing floor, and agrees to do all he directs. She uncovers his feet and lies down, and Boaz will tell her what to do next.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, Ruth 3:4-7 becomes a map of inner action rather than a social incident. Ruth’s move is the courage of a state of consciousness bowing to a higher authority; the feet she uncovers are the grounded beliefs and habits that support action. Boaz embodies the I AM—the warm, generous Presence within you that redeems, protects, and grants covenant favor when your heart is willing to yield to divine direction. Ruth’s answer, 'All that thou sayest unto me I will do,' is the decisive act of revision in consciousness: she agrees to be led by a greater law rather than by personal whim. When Boaz goes to lie down and Ruth uncovers his feet, this is the symbolic moment of resting in awareness and revealing the foundation of your next move. The floor scene becomes an inner pledge: the ground of your life is now available for guidance, and grace speaks through the inner order. If you adopt Ruth’s posture—obedient faith and inner receptivity—the covenant prospering you seek appears as a natural outflow of your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Ruth at the inner threshold of your heart, bowing to the I AM. Silently declare, 'I am willing to do all that you guide me to do,' and feel the warmth of grace guiding your next step.
