Midnight Encounter Within
Ruth 3:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
At midnight, a man awakens in fear and finds a woman lying at his feet.
Neville's Inner Vision
Midnight is the stir of the old self when the new consciousness is invited to stand before it. The I AM, the aware self, is the man who awakens and cannot be terrified by appearances. Fear arises not to defeat you but to reveal where belief in separation still dwells. The woman at his feet is Ruth in the inner act—the faithful possibility at the base of consciousness asking to be acknowledged and guided by integrity. This encounter does not threaten holiness; it tests your readiness to let purity govern the scene and to remain obedient to truth. When you reinterpret the moment, you recognize that you are the one who robes the scene with awareness, not the one who runs from it. By retaining the habit of the I AM, you allow obedience and faithfulness to produce the end-state you desire—purity, boundary, and trust. The fear dissolves as you hold to the inner law that reality is consciousness in which you are the imagining power.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the stillness at midnight, imagine the Ruth-like virtue standing at your inner feet; declare I am the I AM and feel that the faithful state is already yours.
