Romans 12:21


"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:21

    Anyone here ever heard a song called "Overcomer" by Mandisa? It's really catchy and powerful. Fun. :) This verse kind of reminds me of it.
    It's way too easy to fall victim to evil in this world. And I'm not only talking about being robbed or beat up or contracting a deadly illness. Evil can also hit you with fear, unnecessary shame, depression, fury. And sometimes it's really hard to resist these feelings, these tendencies.
    But thankfully, the Lord's given us a way to fight back--with good. What is good? God is. And His Word has been called our sword in spiritual warfare.
    We aren't meant to be victims of evil. We're meant to fight it--and beat it. God will give us all the strength we need to do so.
    I hope this is encouraging. May God bless you today! :)
