TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Do not be overcome by evil, but
overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21, NIV.
Romans 12:21, NIV.
TODAY'S WORD:
The scripture says, “We overcome
evil with good.” In other words, when somebody’s rude or inconsiderate, don’t
sink down to their level. Don’t be rude and inconsiderate back to them. No, if
you going to rise higher, if you are going to overcome, you have to do just the
opposite. You have to show kindness, grace and mercy. It isn't always
easy; in fact, it’s almost never easy. It takes a lot of humility to treat
someone with respect who is disrespecting you. But do you know what happens
when you walk in humility? God gives you His grace. He empowers you to walk in
His goodness. Scripture plainly says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to
the humble.”
Today, walk humbly with God and overcome
evil with good. Show mercy and sow mercy. Receive His grace, receive His power,
and receive His strength to be everything He’s called you to be.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for the grace to
overcome in this life. I choose Your goodness. I choose Your ways. Help me to
show Your love and walk in peace in every circumstance in Jesus’ name. Amen.
