Inner Covenant Covering

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ruth 3:9 the scene is a revelation of a state of consciousness seeking shelter in the I AM. Ruth calls herself the handmaid and asks for the covering of the near kinsman, and the request is not for a person alone but for the inner law that guards and provides. The skirt is the symbol of the boundary of consciousness, the aura of protection that the I AM can extend over every thought, fear, and situation. When you identify with Ruth you are identifying with humility and readiness to be led by divine intent. Boaz, the near kinsman, represents the ready consent of your inner world to a covenant of loyalty and care. The moment of cover is not external magic; it is your awareness that the I AM is already present, already turning toward you with benevolence. To practice, assume the state I am under the covering of divine protection. Feel the boundary of this coverage enfolding you, let your sense of self dissolve into a beloved child of the covenant. The result is a present security that changes perception and life from fear to faith.
