VERSE:
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
-- Romans 12:21
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+12:21
THOUGHT:
A friend used to remind me that the number one goal in dealing
with difficult people or circumstances is this: Don't become what
you hate. He wasn't talking about hating the person, but despising
their evil, wicked, petty, and sinful actions and motivations. We
don't overcome the Devil by underhanded and dishonorable means. We
overcome evil, we drive it back into the abyss, by doing what is
right and filling our hearts and lives with goodness.
PRAYER:
Holy God, please bless me with character as I resist those who
are critical, cynical, and vengeful toward me. Please help me
respond in a way that reflects the character and Lordship of
Christ. In Jesus' name. Amen.
