don’t do it

don’t do it (January 4, 2024)

 

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

- Romans 12:21 (NKJV)

 

Difficult people are everywhere.

At your work, at the store, driving on the roads, in your family and even in your church!

I read somewhere that the number one goal in dealing with difficult people or circumstances is this: Don't become what you hate.

We aren’t talking about hating the difficult person, it means that we don't want to become evil, wicked, petty, vindictive or sinful in our actions and motivations.

We don't overcome the devil by underhanded and dishonorable means.

We don’t treat others poorly just because they are horrible to us.

We overcome evil and drive it back 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.

He is the best overcomer of all.
