Namaste All! I am Rev. Drea, your Spiritual Chiropractor, and March is represented by the Spiritual faculty of Strength. So, I want to speak with you about how you can use this faculty to strengthen your alignment with Spirit.
Strength is the confidence and fortitude to take the next step. In II Corinthians, Chapter 5, we read, “I walk by faith not by sight”. In life, when you are presented with a challenge that makes you want to crawl under a blanket, it is the faculty of strength that gives you the ability to open up to divine guidance and move forward, one step at a time.
This strength is the ability to hang on when you are just beginning on the path and you want to shrink away and turn back because it looks too difficult. It is the quality of endurance, which keeps you from sinking when you find yourself out in the middle too far away to turn back, yet feeling weary and unable to see how you can complete the rest of the journey.
Finally, Strength keeps you centered and on point when you see what you think is the end in sight. It keeps you from rushing headlong into the mirage.
Being lifted in Divine Strength is like being on a ropes course, a tree-top experience, where you find you are climbing above your fears and balancing beyond your reach. Life gives us daily opportunities to exercise our Spiritual faculty of Strength.
Some opportunities ask us to do the next thing when we think we can’t. Some ask us to keep our mouth shut when we want to complain or get into someone else’s business. Some opportunities ask us to say no when we think we should say yes, and vice versa. We are never alone in any state of weakness.
Divine strength accompanies us in thought, word, and deed. As scripture says in Matthew 24:22 “Be ye also ready” we must prepare ourselves for the way strength will manifest in our lives. Here are some ways to engage with your faculty of strength as you align with Spirit.
1. Become still. William Warch in his book How to Use Your Twelve Gifts from God tells us “One of the wonderful ways strength manifests itself in your consciousness is in the form of patience. Patience is calm, uncomplaining endurance. It is persistent courage. Whenever you need to be courageous in a situation, all you need to do is become still.” As you still your thoughts, your actions, that stillness will allow you to acknowledge alignment with Spirit in the situation. You will gain clarity of the situation and an understanding of what the next right move is for the circumstance that you face.
2. Create Balance in your life. A well-balanced person is truly strong. If someone pushes you but you have both your feet firmly planted and grounded in Truth, you are strong. So strive for balance in all aspects of your life. Thought and feelings, work and rest/play, intellect and intuition, giving and receiving. This will truly strengthen your alignment with Spirit.
3. Know your Why. Go back to the Intention you set at the beginning of the year and reflect on why you chose it. Knowing why can give a great strength of purpose. As you experience life, you make better decisions if you have clarity about our intention. If you enter into any situation without knowing your why, that is when you can be tossed to and fro by the circumstances of life, instead of standing firm in the truth of who you are. Setting and living a life of intention and understanding your why will help you honor your alignment with Spirit regardless of the circumstance.
Take time to be still, create balance in your life and get to know your why, what wakes you up in the morning. These things will help you to grow stronger in mind, body and spirit and will in turn strengthen your alignment with the Universal Divine Flow of life and all that it has for you.
Today’s affirmation is:
“I acknowledge, honor and strengthen my alignment with the Universal Divine Flow of Life.”
