When my family is ready to eat the supper meal, we’ll say, “get in your place.” It’s expected that everyone goes to their own chair, we pray and then eat. It would be a huge disruption if someone didn’t respond. I sense God speaking that to us, to me. “Get in your place!” What is ”my place”? Those that are in Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the evil desires. My place is in Christ Jesus. Is that place comfortable? A big NOOOOOO. It’s a diffult place to be until I die to myself. A thought came to me this morning. What is evil? Is it murdur, rape and the bad crimes? Yes, but it’s also the small things too, like a bad attitude. I feel the heat of the fire but for the life of me I’m going to stay in Christ Jesus today, even when it kills me. (Oh, by the way that is not our supper table but doesn’t it look good?)

Good insight/illustration. We are not comfortable at all if we don’t die to our own sin. I learned what evils are from Jeremiah 2:13.
