Three Houses

A little over a week ago I got right fed up at being laid out on the couch like a sack of rotten potatoes in the afternoons with morning sickness & at how unfitting it seemed for a Christian to be moaning & going on ad nauseum about the ick. 

I finally got furious enough & determined that I was going to lay hold of the provision of Christ for this, saw Him having borne it on the cross & began to actively receive His grace & resurrection life.  What a marked difference He has made!  Some foods still turn me off but I’m enjoying the wonderful experience of being ‘above’ hints of nausea & the power of that form of death being rendered powerless over me. 

I’ve been relishing His challenges in this season to fully appropriate & apply Christ & His cross’s work in this way in the many very nitty gritty details of everyday life.
