Romans 12:21 New International Version (NIV)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
good.
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 he meant that we don't
want to become evil, wicked, petty, and sinful in our 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. There is no greater example of overcoming evil
with good than Jesus.
Thought for today:
Do I have “good” (God) standards and practices?
