Overcome Evil

Romans 12:21 (The Message) Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.

Life is full of choices. There are many opportunities everyday to let evil prevail, or to overcome evil with good. When someone talks behind your back, it's easy to repay evil with evil by talking behind their back, or simply blow it off and let peace prevail. When someone does you wrong, it may be human nature to get revenge, but a citizen of the kingdom of God knows that vengeance belongs to the Lord. As you learn to let the peace of God reign and rule in your life, it becomes easier to rise above negative situations. Don't give in to speaking and acting evil, but instead say "I release the peace of God into this situation" and you'll find yourself taking the high road every time.
Have A Blessed Day
