Unshakeable — Strength That Endures

WEBVTT
00:00:04.037 --> 00:00:11.597
Well, hello, my valued listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Living in Your Power.
00:00:11.897 --> 00:00:16.877
I'm your host, Dr. Merlene Greenleaf, and I'm grateful you are here with me
00:00:16.877 --> 00:00:21.117
today as we close out our March journey together.
00:00:22.157 --> 00:00:30.337
This month, we've been grounded in rooted and resilient strength that endures.
00:00:30.617 --> 00:00:35.157
And today's episode, the fifth and final in our March series,
00:00:35.557 --> 00:00:40.757
is titled Unshakeable Strength That Endures.
00:00:43.916 --> 00:00:50.096
This month, it wasn't about appearing strong. It was about becoming steady.
00:00:51.956 --> 00:00:57.836
Strength can fluctuate. And unshakable is anchored.
00:00:59.316 --> 00:01:05.816
And what makes a person unshakable is not personality. But its foundation.
00:01:08.236 --> 00:01:14.196
Now, our anchored scripture today comes from Hebrews 12, 28,
00:01:14.436 --> 00:01:15.956
the New King James Version.
00:01:16.356 --> 00:01:25.516
And it says, Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
00:01:25.876 --> 00:01:31.996
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
00:01:33.696 --> 00:01:41.936
Now it says here a kingdom which cannot be moved it cannot be shaken cannot
00:01:41.936 --> 00:01:53.536
be uprooted cannot be destabilized that means you're the foundation is not temporary it's eternal,
00:01:54.476 --> 00:01:58.556
I mean, if what you stand on cannot be moved,
00:01:59.176 --> 00:02:02.056
then storms lose their authority.
00:02:04.270 --> 00:02:08.270
Circumstances may shift, and people may disappoint.
00:02:08.890 --> 00:02:14.090
Plans may change, but your anchor remains.
00:02:17.410 --> 00:02:21.270
Now, unshakable people, they're not fearless.
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:28.730
They are, as we said before, they are anchored. They feel disappointment. They feel uncertainty.
00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:40.310
They feel pressure. But they are not uprooted by it because their identity is not tied to outcomes,
00:02:40.970 --> 00:02:45.150
their peace is not tied to applause,
00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:57.870
their confidence is not tied to public validation because they are rooted and your roots holds.
00:03:01.857 --> 00:03:08.277
Now, in closing, as we close out this March segment, I want you to reflect on this.
00:03:09.297 --> 00:03:13.857
What has strengthened within me this month?
00:03:15.297 --> 00:03:23.277
Where have I grown steadier? What am I rooted in that cannot be shaken?
00:03:25.697 --> 00:03:29.737
Now you may not feel dramatically different
00:03:29.737 --> 00:03:33.977
But resilience builds quietly
00:03:33.977 --> 00:03:40.637
And strength that endures is really loud It is consistent So I want to repeat
00:03:40.637 --> 00:03:49.417
this reflection prop for you So I want you to reflect on these questions What
00:03:49.417 --> 00:03:52.397
has strengthened within me this month?
00:03:53.517 --> 00:04:00.897
Where have I grown steadier? And what am I rooted in that cannot be shaken?
00:04:01.937 --> 00:04:08.437
I want you to think on these. I want you to write this down and meditate and truly reflect upon it.
00:04:08.537 --> 00:04:13.957
Because these are important and strategic questions that we need to ask ourselves
00:04:13.957 --> 00:04:23.317
as part of us building resilience and us being consistent. So I'm going to repeat those again for you.
00:04:26.277 --> 00:04:30.277
What strengthened within me this month?
00:04:32.348 --> 00:04:42.028
Where have I grown steadier? And what am I rooted in that cannot be shaken?
00:04:42.988 --> 00:04:47.988
So I want you to again remember that you may not feel dramatically different
00:04:47.988 --> 00:04:51.908
when you sit, reflect, and respond to these questions.
00:04:52.328 --> 00:04:55.908
Because your resilience, it builds quietly.
00:04:56.408 --> 00:05:07.268
And strength that endures is really loud. It is consistent. A consistency, my dear, is the key.
00:05:08.528 --> 00:05:18.208
Consistency. So, my friends, I want you to know that you are not fragile, but you are fortified.
00:05:18.648 --> 00:05:22.388
You are not behind. You are being built.
00:05:23.408 --> 00:05:27.388
And if you remain rooted, you will endure.
00:05:29.248 --> 00:05:34.368
So I want to thank you for walking through our March journey with me,
00:05:35.168 --> 00:05:38.968
Rooted and Resilient Strength That Endures.
00:05:41.168 --> 00:05:48.248
So until next time, I want you to continue to live boldly in your power.
00:05:48.248 --> 00:05:52.688
And if it gets tough Just breathe
00:05:52.688 --> 00:05:59.928
Because you've still Got the strength to rise So until next time Dear listeners
00:05:59.928 --> 00:06:09.848
We're going to open up a new month in April I want you to continue To live In your Power.
